Technology Thursday-Geography Drive USA


I am linking up today with the Teaching Trio for their Technology Thursday linky party to share a fun new app with you! 

iPad Screenshot 1

I admit that I am about as cheap as they come and wouldn't normally spend money to download an app, but I splurged and spent $1.99 on this one. It was well worth it! 
If you teach 4th grade, you most likely spend a lot of time learning about the 50 states. This is the perfect review game for learning the states and capitals and just general information about each of the states. Students will take a drive across the United States stopping at each state to answer questions. When you answer enough questions correctly about the state, you "unlock" that state. The goal is to unlock all of the states. This game will keep students busy for a loooongggg time! The great graphics and music will definitely keep the kids engaged!
Here are some pics from the game!






What are some of your favorite educational apps?

Monday Meet Me!

I love all of the fun linky parties in the summer! I'm starting my second week of summer break and am finally feeling well enough to be outside and enjoy it! I had to miss the last day of school due to my stupid mono so I finally went to school today to clean everything up. I had all sorts of goodies left on my desk from my students! I was so sad though to see flowers that a student had left completely dead :(. Someone also left me a gift certificate for a mani/pedi! How cool is that! Unfortunately, I have no idea who it is from! 
Anyways, I am linking up today with The Teaching Tribune for their Monday Meet Me link up!

Stitch Fix Review #2

I'm officially on summer break and officially feeling human again. I was super sick about a week ago and turns out I have mono. What a great way to start summer! I'm finally feeling better and may even leave my house today! 
Since I have been cooped up at home on bed rest, I was more than excited when my Stitch Fix came! Click HERE for a link to my first Stitch Fix review and an explanation on what Stitch Fix is if you haven't heard of it! I'll spare you pictures of me in the clothes since I still look pretty sickly, but here is what I received!






I loved everything I got this month AND everything fit perfectly! Since I have been feeling pathetic lately I decided I might as well buy them all.....maybe it will cheer me up! I'm sure I'll regret it later when my credit card bill comes, but for now I'm going to enjoy it! I have to look good on my vacations coming up right??
If you have been wanting to try Stitch Fix out, you can click HERE and it will take you to my referral page. It's a fun little surprise to get each month!

I promise to be back soon with some actual educational posts!
