Today we got a chance to look at Google Earth and different places throughout Canada and the world :) We started off by finding our school, and then even found a couple of our friend's houses! Then, we found Walmart and Fortino's and estimated and measured which one was closer to our school. Giulia's prediction was correct!! Walmart is closer :)
Miss Pliura: "How do you know Walmart is closer to us than Fortino's?"
Alyssa: "Because Walmart was 28 cubes and Fortino's was 31".
We got a chance to look at Toronto and talk about the differences between there and our community.
"I think more people live in Toronto because there's lots of buildings". - Lillian
Miss Smith: "When do you think these pictures we're taken?"
Vienna: "In the summer, because there's no snow"
Owen: "I know that that picture of my house was taken awhile ago because we don't have that sign up anymore".
Listen to all of these amazing connections and inferences. I love it!
Then we got a chance to look up Turkey, which is where Lara's family is from! We saw how different it looked and how it looked like there were castles in the streets. Very neat! We continued to use Google Earth during learning centres which gave students a chance to look at their houses, too :) We're excited to continue to use this kind of technology to further explore our learning on the world :)
