After a long winter break, the class hit the ground running today. They wrote about their adventures and all the fun things they did with their families and friends.
Mrs. Komarek joined us for computers this afternoon where the class got to explore Google Earth. This is a free application you can use on your computers at home if you want. We began by searching for the United States, followed by Illinois, then Arlington Heights, and finally Windsor School. The students then explored on their own and many were able to find their own homes.
We were so close before break, but the class still had two scoops to earn in our noodle reward jar. They came back from break ready to learn and quickly earned the remaining noodles this morning. They chose to have a "dance party" for their reward. That is how we ended our day.
Overall, I think it was a great start to 2017. I hope your child came home eager to share about their day!
