Earth Science: Topographic Maps

Students spend some time interpreting topographic maps. One of the maps we used today shows a region of St. Paul near the school, and I was surprised at how excited students were to connect the map to places they know. If I do this again, I want to think about how I can revise the activity to take advantage of that interest.

Since seniors finished on Friday, I have the rest of the day free and spent it cleaning my classroom. Last week, the seniors hid class of 2017 notecards around the school, and running across those made cleaning my room a little more fun. I also found an eraser someone had glued to a drop in the ceiling. I’m not sure when or why that happened.
