Week 1 Thing 2

I have to say, I really like the idea of letting my students see my blog. I think it especially comes in handy with videos in the classroom. I am relieved that you can post a video and you don't have to deal with the dangers of a link. This brings back a bad memory from last year. The first grade team was hatching chicks for our unit on Living Things. Well, sadly the chicks didn't hatch but we still wanted the kids to experience this magical event. We decided to show them some amazing YouTube videos of chicks hatching and how they grow inside the egg. You can only imagine what kind of videos might pop up when you search "chicks". Good thing we had enough sense to find and preview videos before the kids came in:)
