Farrington Thoughts

Today, we made 3-d shape collages using our iPads. We used the app called Pic Collage. We walked around the school, snapped photos of 3D shapes and made a collage using the iPad. At the end, we shared our beautiful work with our classmates! It was a great day at Farrington Bay! Can't wait to use the iPads more after spring break!
