Ready, Set, Caterpillar Race

My favorite time of year is here... Butterfly Time! Our classroom received our caterpillars a few days ago and boy let me tell you were they excited. This group is not afraid to touch the caterpillars so I was able to bring back a fun activity. The students let their  caterpillars out and tracked their path and then raced them against friends!

Some of them raced their two caterpillars against each other while others raced their friends.

When we were all done we measured the distance from start to finish.

First Grade in 360

I am thrilled to announce the newest technological addition to our classroom! With the help of Donorschoose our room has received a 360 camera! I am really looking forward to being able to share our learning experiences with the community. These experiences will range from everyday activities, fields trips, and even my summer travels. This summer I look forward to creating virtual reality experiences that my students will be able to experience as if they were there with me. The camera is simple to use and will allow us to capture some of those special moments. Students were excited to try it out when it came. Here is a snapshot of our room in Tiny Planet Mode!
