Week of 5/11/20
This week we are going to dig a little deeper into the Google Earth Voyager Tours by celebrating Harry Potter. This tour visits some of the most famous and recognizable destinations from both the movies and the books. I hope all my fourth grade muggles love it!
Please go to Google Earth Voyager Tour: Celebrating Harry Potter
If you need help finding your way around Google Earth, see my video below.
If this tour inspires you to start the series, follow this link for the first book:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on audible. This is the same book as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone but in Britain they use this title instead. Audible goes with the British title.

Week of 5/18/20
This week we are going to explore one of my favorite ways to learn new things: podcasts!
Podcasts are recordings that you can listen to. Sometimes they are about a specific topic, or just general current events, or sometimes they answer listener questions. When deciding to listen to a podcast, always check with your teacher or parents first to make sure it is appropriate. You can also check to make sure the podcast creator is credible by looking at their website to see how they get their information. Are they from a news organization, college or university, or government agency? Then they are most likely credible. If no information about their expertise is available, be cautious. Please check out some of these and let me know what you think in Google Classroom or on SeeSaw. You can find a complete list of podcasts here. Please follow the age recommendations and check with your parents before listening to new podcasts.
But Why? (Hosts answer kids' questions)
