First Grade Skypes With Key West Aquarium

On December 5th, first grade students Skyped with Key West Aquarium as an extension to the story Fun With Fish which they were reading in class.  They were able to learn about and see different sea creatures including sea stars, turtles, stingrays, nurse sharks, and alligators.  A question and answer session allowed the students to ask various questions about what other animals are at the aquarium and what various animals eat.  This was a great opportunity for our students to go on a "virtual field trip".  Check out the short video clip from their skype session.
