Central Elementary broke out the GIANT MAP for an Oklahoma geography lesson! 🌎️ Students walked across the state to find Oklahoma’s highest point, identify lakes and rivers, and practice their cardinal directions. Sometimes the best way to understand something big is to see it at scale - and it's pretty fun to stand on Oklahoma City!
