Virtual Field Trip: United States Botanical Garden and National Zoo, Washington, DC!
I love the US Botanical Garden in Washington, DC! There are so many beautiful plants and flowers to see there. I hope you get to see it in person one day, but I thought it would be fun for you to take a virtual tour today to celebrate the first full day of spring! https://www.usbg.gov/take-virtual-tour
You can also do virtual tour of the National Zoo. Other languages are available as well:

How are you doing today? I had fun feeding Eboo and finding some more things to share with you. I also watered all the plants in our classroom and talked with some other teachers. I miss you all! Keep sending me those great photos and emails!!
Love,
Mrs. Cole :)
