What's Your Point of View?

Third grade has started the year thinking about how we view the world. After reading books such as The Look Book  by Tanya Hoban and listening to the story of Ocean Frog, students took to the Headwaters Discovery Playground with the iPads to take some pictures. We had a very specific task. We were looking very closely at the world around us, peering at very specific points and parts. We took close up pictures, as close up as we could get. The pictures were printed and laminated. The third grade is challenging the fourth grade to see if they can find where the pictures were taken. As we have worked through this, we discussed how more information can completely change what we think about something. We've also talked about how important it is to peer in closely sometimes.
