Teaching with Tea

Have you heard of Sphero? It is an interesting concept that is ideal for classroom activities for all ages. There are games that can be played with it but the real treasure is the programing and robotics education that can be learned to work the device. It does require some tech in the classroom or home as the programming and most functions are based off of Android or iOS apps.

Check out the videos and website for more information. It is super neat!

Sphero is a robotic ball that you control with your smartphone or tablet! Check out Sphero 2.0 with over 25 games!

Giveaway:

What did you do on your summer vacation? This is a simple go to journal page for students to share what they did over the summer. It would be a great sheet for the first days of school or even a page to be left on the desk for the students to start filling out when they walk into the classroom.

A page to take up some time writing about their summer vacations. Good for when students walk into the classroom in the week back to school.
