This year our theme is READING TAKES YOU PLACES! We have displayed maps of Utah, the United States, and the world in our library. We have asked the kids as they travel to bring us back a postcard of the area. We then have the kids share the postcard with the classes, and put a dot on the map of where they have been. The postcard is then displayed on a bulletin board. We also talk a little bit about the place they visited and remind kids that when they read each book has a setting and they can learn about different places all over the world as they read. Some of our children have forgotten to bring a postcard so they just bring a picture of the location that they took with their camera's. One child brought in a picture of himself in front of the Statue of Liberty it was really cool. The kids are enjoying seeing all the dots on the map and sharing their adventures.
Great display!
