Map of My Heart

We read, My Map Book, by Sara Fanelli which inspired us to look at maps in a new way. While we chuckled at the 'map of my dog' and the 'map of my stomach' it challenged us to think about how we might create our own maps. With Valentine's Day on the horizon we narrowed our focus on the 'map of my heart' and thought, talked and shared ideas about what fills our own hearts and about the the things we love most in the world. 

The students ventured off to create their own personal maps to illustrate and represent what fills their hearts with love. White paper and a sharpie for all. The class settled. The room was calm and quiet as they worked busily on filling their hearts with love. Then came the labelling and finally the painting. 

We hung our maps in the hallway to profess our love for all the wonderful things that make us happy and fill our hearts.
