"but you said we're all connected" ....

At Pacoima Elementary, we dedicated a day to going over general geography for the kids. The focus was on continents versus countries versus cities and states.

As an exercise, we put up a map of the world and asked the kids to draw the world map and color it in.

One of the students turned this in:



We asked her, "Jackie, why did you draw the continents all touching each other?".
Her response was "... but you said we were all connected!".
