We used the CARGO CONNECT map to help us learn the different ways mail can be delivered.  The students noticed that some areas were surrounded by water and the delivery truck could not drive in the water.  The students used the DUPLOS to build bridges for the delivery truck!  They reflected on their learning by writing about it in their writing journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4107-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4107-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"262\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4107-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/?attachment_id=262\" class=\"wp-image-262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4107-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4107-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4107-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4107-scaled.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4110-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4110-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"263\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4110-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/?attachment_id=263\" class=\"wp-image-263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4110-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4110-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4110-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4110-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4110-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We also talked about how mail transportation innovates, or changes.
