Week 2 - Never Eat Soggy Waffles

Week two with our book, Katy and the Big Snow, took us into studying the compass. In the story, Katy shovels snow to the north, east, west and east. She was an extremely hard working snow shovel!
We identified N, S, W, and E on our own copy of a compass and learned that the phrase "Never eat soggy waffles" will help us remember the order they go in.
We each looked at our own map of the beautiful city of Port Orchard. We put stickers on the compass and then took a close look at the legend. We identified each symbol in the legend and marked map sites with more stickers. We found some excellent spots for camping and using the restroom!
We then put our compass skills to test and went on a little treasure hunt outside our school building. We went north, south, west, and east!!(all with the help of our compass!)
We found a treasure of cookies!!
With our few remaining minutes we each chose a mini car or truck and tried to build it a snowplow out of clay. Even some convertibles got snow plows:)!

Next week, we head to Italy (oh I wish) in our book, Papa Piccolo! It's a good one:)!!
