In today's lesson, we join Miss Sidenius in learning about why people take trains. We will talk about the benefits of taking a train, ending the lesson with our own imaginary train journey to a magical location of your choice! You can extend this lesson by constructing your own train track.

In this lesson, we will learn what maps are used for. We will look carefully at a map and find various places, including the train station. We will end the lesson by drawing our own map.
