Taking a look at the seasons!

As part of 1st Grade Science Core we are taking a look at seasons! These Animoto videos are a great way to engage students in the material. Video's not only catch the attention of the students but bring a new perspective to things they are learning in class. With the world of Youtube and internet streaming becoming more prominent this will help prepare the students for their futures in a technology dense society.
