My own map.

While studying Nehemiah's burden from a far off land, Zeru and I discussed a burden God gave him. It was for the people sleeping outside in Ethiopia. We did a writing lesson on the word "bet" for house, or structure, and then we needed to find a map.
Since the lesson was on burdens from a far off land we wanted to look and see just how far away the people were.

We used gem stickers to show where important locations were on the map. It was fun to see where other places are also. Like North Carolina, where we used to live and many friends live, and China where many people are from who live in Ethiopia to work.

The amazing thing was he knew exactly where Ethiopia was on the map, but no idea where we live!

We made it big enough to see but small enough to roll up and use for later. Save, print, trim and tape. Then enjoy!

We will be using this map for many lessons to come.
