We at Ursuline Dallas are currently enjoying the Giant Traveling Map of Africa from National Geographic. The map, measuring 35 feet by 26 feet, is designed as a geo-game board to introduce students to the power of maps and the diverse geography of Africa. The map will be with us for a two week period which will end all too quickly this Friday, the 17th. The map comes with all sorts of accessories, interactive activities and photo cards which teach students about the physical characteristics of the continent as well as the rich history, wildlife and varied cultures of Africa. We are delighted that the map is being used by a wide variety of departments at Ursuline including Math, Social Studies, PE and Theology. Staff members are also visiting the map throughout the day as we are all eager to learn as much as we can about Africa. We are so happy to be a part of the Africa Map's tour - It has been so much fun that we have already requested the map of Asia next year!
