Hands-on Geography

Midland School students have been running all over North America recently. They’ve been learning their states using National Geographic Giant Traveling Maps, which are so enormous that they require a gym or cafeteria for full display. 

 

Students spent several days engaging in collaborative and competitive activities designed to stimulate, educate, and give them a sense for where they are in relation to the rest of the world.
