Today we had two engaging technology experiences that your child may be interested in exploring further at home! The first was with Google Earth, in which we were able to see the virtual representation of our planet, continent, country, state, city, and right down to our school! This was a nice illustration of these concepts we've been learning so much about in our Map Skills unit. We also used the street view tool in Google Maps to see famous landmarks around the world. Your child may be interested in finding your home on Google Earth, or using the street view to virtually walk down the street in downtown Arlington Heights or downtown Chicago!
The next experience we had today was using time on the laptops to explore the Mo Willems website, Pigeon Presents. This website is accessible by clicking here. The students are starting to get very excited about our virtual visit with Mo Willems on October 6th!
