We had a map-tastic day in room 81! Students began experimenting with Google Maps and the interactive features it offers, especially Google Street View. Students were fascinated as they explored the Evergreen area (many yelled out in excitement when they found their house!) and further afield into Australia, Jordan and many, many more places. We also played our first round of Geoguessr! (https://www.geoguessr.com). This is an online mapping game where you are given a street view location, and then you have to use the clues around and your inferences to predict where in the world you are. Students were very excited to hunt for clues (for example, there is snow on the ground so it must be cold!). Please try this at home, it is great fun!
We also began our spelling program today. Students were given words for the next two weeks, and will be working with them during our Daily 5 block. Students will sort, find patterns within the words and do other activities with them.
Quick reminder that Scholastic is due this Friday, October 21!
Have a wonderful day!
