Trip to the Moon!

Yesterday we went on a Virtual Field Trip to the moon!  NASA has a great website that lets you "go back in time" to Apollo 10's launch and trip to the moon.  It shows real photos and videos of astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, and it simulates the rocket launch and the lunar module used in the landing.

It was very fun and exciting because we have been studying all about the moon in science, and we have even been reading all about the moon and outer space in our small reading groups!

Showing What We Know With the iPad: Regrouping

A few weeks ago, we practiced our addition with regrouping by explaining the steps involved.   The students were asked to demonstrate their knowledge on the iPad App: Show Me, which records your voice and your drawing simultaneously.  I think you will be impressed to see the students' hard work and their awesome explanations!

NOTE: Not all students finished this activity or may have been absent...if they would like to create a video, tell them to remind me when they have free time.  I would love for every student to show off their "Show Me!" :)

Click the student's name to view their Show Me video...(In no particular order:)
