Did you know your child took a trip to New York?

During social studies today, we took a tour of New York, Connecticut, Philadelphia and Apex, NC! You just thought they were at school today...ha!

Google Maps was able to show us a virtual tour of all these wonderful places. We went street-side and "walked" with the people downtown. We saw in New York and Philadelphia that the McDonald's is on the bottom floor of a tall building. In Connecticut we saw that the homes are spread apart and they have larger yards. Here in Apex, we went to the suburb neighborhood of Scottsmill. They were really able to see how Scottsmill differed from the row houses that they saw in NY.

If you get a chance, explore a little more with your child. This really helped them see the differences between the three!
