Swimming with the Sharks via Google Expeditions

 We had so much fun exploring the ocean and swimming with sharks on our first Google Expedition on Monday!
 Mr. Edwards even joined us for some fun in the ocean!  I loved watching my students teach him how to use the technology!  Way to go, my little Leaders!!!
 Everyone listening to how to use the technology before "diving in" to the ocean Expedition!
 Lola letting us see what they were able to explore!
 Sharks!!!
We had so much fun!  We also had fun today at a Sea Turtle hospital in Key West!  I will be sharing those pictures later in the week!  Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Our Field Trip to the Arboretum


I just wanted to share a few pictures from our amazing field trip to the Arboretum last week!  We had the best time!!!
 I hope these pictures help you enjoy our trip as much as we did while we experienced it! 

 Mr. Rich did an amazing job explaining all about our local animals and what their habitats are like!



 We even got to meet some new animal friends!
 And get up close and personal with them!!!



 

After our amazing program we set out to explore and look for some of the animals and their habitats that we learned about!

 The Arboretum provided us with these great binoculars, which were a huge hit!


  We had the most fun exploring our beautiful Arboretum!

 The staff at the Arboretum really do an outstanding job of helping the students explore the surroundings around them in the great outdoors!
 
 We even found a tree big enough for us to crawl through!!!


 This was one of the highlights of the day!!!
 






 We checked out a few bird houses to see if the birds had laid their eggs yet, unfortunately we didn't see any...but it was super neat to see their nest built and prepared for when they are ready to lay their eggs!



  




 These little cuties make me smile!!!
 
 


   My happy little explorers!



We had an amazing day and I am looking forward to a very busy and exciting week this week, as well!  Happy Monday, everyone!
