First Graders Leaf Snap Adventure!

The first graders have been studying leaves in science class and so we took a nature walk to collect different kinds of leaves.  Then using the Leaf Snap app, they found out all about the trees from which their leaves came.  It was amazing to see them using this technology and the excitement of what they found.  Impressive first graders!
