Would you believe it if we told you we went on a field trip today that took us to 6 of the 7 continents of the world??!! Well, it is TRUE! And we did it all without having to leave our school!
We were lucky enough to try out "cardboard viewers" today. When we looked into the special viewers we were taken away from our school into lands far away! We could see things all around us. We tried to touch them because they looked like they were right in front of us, above us or below us! It was so real!
We left "North America" (our classroom!) and headed into the waters around the world for an "Ocean Safari". We went to "Australia" and "Asia" and "South America" and saw dolphins and sharks (YIKES!), humpback whales, turtles, manta rays and a mola mola (the biggest, bony fish in the world!)
Next, we went to "Africa" and saw some elephants. We learned that baby elephants can't control their trunks very well and needed to move their trunks away so their mom's could feed them!
Our last stop was "Antarctica". The land was covered in ice and snow. We saw leopard seals. Did you know that the leopard seal has no ears? And the female seal is bigger than the male. Then, we saw the penguins! There were so many of them - mothers and fathers and babies!

| Look! Turn to your left! No your right! Can you see it?? |

Here we are "visiting" with the penguins before we head "home"!
This was the BEST virtual field trip ever!! |
