First Graders Fascinated with Google Earth


As a wrap up to their unit on space, first grade students had the opportunity to explore the online tool Google Earth. Learning about the concept of "birds eye view," students took a virtual field trip around the Earth from Shorecrest to their houses. In addition, students explored the Moon, the constellations in Sky mode, and some physical features of Mars. The first graders will continue to explore the program in their classrooms, and in a few weeks will take a tour of famous landmarks around the United States during their America unit.
