Students will begin to understand the concept of maps by describing the path that Little Red Riding Hood took on the way to Grandma's house.

The teacher will read aloud Ruth Stiles Gannett's book, "My Father's Dragon" and facilitate rich classroom discussions.

These activities will teach and instill a respect for the American flag, the pledge of allegiance, liberty bell, statue of liberty, the bald eagle, and other patriotic symbols.

Using the The Tortoise and the Hare fable students will learn basic map skills.
