Noun Neighborhood

In Reading and Social Studies we have been learning about the importance of maps. One of the books we read is Me On The Map by Joan Sweeney. As we read we discussed all of the important parts of a map. We reviewed the location of our country, state, city, and neighborhood. As a part of our study, we combined our grammar lessons over nouns with our lessons over maps to create a Noun Neighborhood. The students drew their home, their favorite stores, restaurants, vehicles, and more which they then labeled with nouns. We learned that a neighborhood is "where we work, live, and play" and that a noun is a "person, place, or thing." Enjoy a slideshow of the students working on their artistic Noun Neighborhood.
