I have my 3rd graders draw a map showing how to get to their house from our school. They have to include street names, landmarks, and their physical address. Once I get all the maps, I take a Saturday and go to each house. I send notes to the parents beforehand letting them know my plan and that I won't have time to come in and visit. When I get to each house, I put a letter to my student that says "I found you. Your map was so easy to follow!" on their porch or I tape it to the door. The kids love it, several times I have driven up to find students sitting on their porch waiting for me. This is my 3rd year to do this project and I enjoy it as much as they do, although it does take up an entire Saturday to go to all 20 houses!
