Virtual Field Trip: The Eiffel Tower, Paris Eiffel Tower virtual visit
This is a fun virtual tour. You'll feel like you're really standing in front of the tower! I know many of you have done the Paris section in Lexia, so I thought you might like to see some of the real-life city.
Move your cursor up, down, and side-to-side to get different views. A grownup might have to enable Adobe Flash for you to see it.
Here are a few Eiffel Tower pictures from 2 of my trips to Paris. I was there as an exchange student a long time ago, then I went with my daughter Meghan, and most recently I was there with Mr. Cole.
How are you doing? I miss all of you and I am so proud of the things you are doing while we're not together. I hope you are enjoying the virtual field trips and the photos! Have you been trying the new words in French and Spanish?
See you back here tomorrow!
Love,
Mrs. Cole
