Getting Groceries
This is how Lena drives to the grocery store:
She starts at her driveway.
She turns left and drives a little bit to the park.
She makes a right turn.
She drives a long way to the library.
The road curves a bit to the left.
She drives a little farther to the grocery store.
She turns left and parks the car.
Make a map to show how Lena gets to the grocery store. Use different objects to show her house, the park, the library, and the grocery store. Draw a line that shows the path she took.
