"Map of Africa" visits Meadowfield

University of South Carolina geography professors Jerry Mitchell and Larianne Collins are spending the week of February 9-12 with our students (kindergarten through 5th grade) to share an interactive lesson on this incredible floor-sized map of the continent of Africa. Students were able to explore the map and learn information about the geography of this area in our world. 3rd grader Emily shared, "There is so much to learn about the world around us, about every continent!" What a wonderful opportunity for all of our students!

Students play "Simon Says" using their newly acquired knowledge presented.

Students seek specific habitats of animals.

Students create a visual interpretation of the different elements of the map.
