Help Us See the World

Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 25

The students have been able to "travel the world" thanks to our classroom grant. We have been to eight states in America and also have visited Canada. It is amazing to connect with other educators and students from around the globe without ever leaving the classroom.

The addition of maps and vis a vis pens to our #mysterySkypes made it much easier for the kids to form accurate questions that narrowed down where we might be visiting. Thanks to the globe and virtual reality goggles the class had a real chance to experience landforms and sights in some of the locations. I can honestly say that every kid loves coming to school on Mystery Skype day and they are always begging me to do more of them.

With the grant the children have had countless opportunities to think critically and problem solve, both in small groups and individually. They each have a firmer understanding of their place in space and of how the marks on the globe help with exact location.  We are all so thankful for our new materials!
