First Grade Spelunkers Exploring Caves

Today, the boys and girls had an opportunity to learn and practice using Padlet.com, an online site for collaboratively sharing their ideas.  Some of them had a chance over the snow days to watch the screencast tutorial, http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cInOVKVoQS.

Sharing Our Learning Through Technology

After your child has a chance to view the screencast tutorial on Padlet  http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cInOVKVoQS, have him/her come back to our Padlet wall here, on our E Day blog.  The students will be able to explore caves on a virtual website and then share their thoughts and learning below on our wall.

Tour the virtual cave. This is my very favorite caves website.  There are many pictures of the different types of caves.  Click on the dark pink links to see them.  Be sure and enter the "Solution Cave."  Solution cave is another name for limestone caves.



Be safe, stay warm and enjoy your snow day!
