Google Earth

3rd-5th grade students used Google Earth this week to learn about Longitude and Latitude. Their task was to enter coordinates into Google Earth and navigate around the location to find hidden objects. A very fun lesson!

Here's a few coordinates to try if you'd like:

1. 52 15 3 N, 2 15 3 W

1. 51 22 21 N, 1 50 51 W

1. 51 22 56 N, 3 20 46 W

QR Code Scavenger Hunt

I hid 18 QR Codes around the class and in the "Green Room". Students scanned the QR Codes with their iPads which then released a question I encoded. It is a lot of fun and would be a great way to review material for a test. Check out the video to see how it went.

Keyboarding

Mrs. Adams' 1st grade class working on a keyboarding lesson in Pages. Go little fingers go!

The Green Room

The Green Room is our very own recording room where students film their own movies, commercials, and videos. This is a group of students working on their commercial for the board game they made out of recyclable materials. The students wrote their own scripts, recorded their own commercial, and will edit their video using iMovie.

Working Hard

K4 students working hard on colors, numbers, letters, and more.
