At the park, the children divided themselves into two teams according to what activities they were interested in pursuing.  The two choices of activities were Dog Interviewing or Map Making.  The Dog Interviewing team was instructed to interview people who were walking with their dogs in the park.  The Map Making team was assigned to construct a hand-drawn map of Arisugawa Park in their sketchbooks.  The children enthusiastically pursued their respective activities.  The Dog Interview team found three dog owners and collected data about each dog in their notebooks.  The Map Making team walked around the park, observing the layout of the park and recording their findings.  After the teams reconvened at GKA, the children recorded their observations and data.  The Dog Interviewing team created a newsletter, "Doggie Days".  The Map Making Team created a final draft of the map of Arisugawa Park on construction paper along with some background information about the history of the park. Arisugawa Park Map is here.
