A huge thank you to @KBridgette2 for coming in to share this AMAZING Ocean VR experience with us as part of our Marine Life Research! Just listen to the excitement in the room!! SO COOL! 🥰🐳

Our main idea detectives were on the case today!! We used our collaboration skills to work together to title a scholastic news that was missing it’s title using the clues (key details)! 🕵️🕵️‍♀️ I absolutely LOVE watching these learners collaborate!! 😍
