Tuesday, 9/27/16Today, we began drawing our maps of Laguna Beach. I gave each student a large piece of paper and a worksheet that spells out exactly what to label and color.
Here's all the stuff we'll try to label today on your map. Go slow and write in pencil first!!!!
#5 Label and draw a small RED building for the following important service buildings: City Hall, Mission Hospital (draw a small hospital, 4 fire stations, Main Beach Lifeguard station, Police Station) #6 Draw Aliso Creek in Blue and label it and then draw/label Barbara’s Lake #7 Lightly shade our parks green and LABEL Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, Aliso Beach Park, Crystal Cove State Park #8 See if you can label the cities around us: Laguna Niguel, Aliso viejo, Newport Beach and Dana Point. Label them small so we have plenty of room on the map. |
