Highlands welcomed Ms. Su Curley, a NASA engineer, for Career Day. We were fortunate to swing by the cafeteria and see her, along with a real spacesuit. She told them a little about life in space, and they were allowed to touch the suit.
We've been working with 3-dimensional shapes and decided to take a "Shape Walk" with our iPads and look for examples around the school.
We enjoyed our videoconference with another First Grade classroom this week. We created a snowman and gave them clues about her job. They created one as well, and gave us clues. We met via Skype to confirm our predictions.
