jacob's idea of creating maps was the whimsical wednesday activity today! a friend joined us for the evening so she participated as well. supper was enjoyed on the porch and after the dishes were cleared we all got to the task at hand. it was very quiet as we all worked on our various maps. once in awhile someone would ask for a different colored marker or seek an opinion on how to proceed with a portion of a map. sometimes we could be heard talking to ourselves about one detail or another!
when we were finished, we showed each other what we created. jacob created the imaginary place, rock island. it was very tropical with lots of water, boats and palm trees. there was a neat rock pile, the feature that gave the place its name. megan drew a place from a book she read. her map was all black and red and filled with lots of details about the various characteristics of the place. our visitor and i both, without intention or consultation, drew a map of the farm! that was funny. hers was much better than mine because it had a lot of detail i didn't bother with. it would seem that her map of the farm reflected her level of observation skills!
