Exploring!
Today we did an AWESOME activity in the gym... Holly and I set up a large "land mass" and pairs navigated each other through blindfolded to check out this new land they discovered. Then we switched the land mass all around and the other blindfolded explorer was navigated through. When we went back to our room we drew maps of what we thought our land had looked like. Students brought up some awesome observations, like how they thought they were somewhere else when they took their blindfolds off, how it was difficult to remember all of the land they explored, how it was confusing and if they got off course they didn't know where they were any more, and how they thought they had traveled a lot longer than they actually had.

What a great activity! That's the kind of thing the kids will never forget, and will think about whenever they see strange old maps...
It was a really fun activity. I hope we can do it again soon. (Only with diffrent buddies.)
