First Grade--Now and Then Schools and Vehicles

We are working on the "Changes Over Time" unit in social studies. We spent some time this week talking about how everyday places and objects have changed over time. I put photos of a 1900 classroom and horse-drawn wagon up on the Elmo and asked groups of students to use the StoryBuddy app on the iPad to compare a current classroom and a current vehicle to what I had displayed, using captions to make their comparisons.
