My students and I absolutely love these virtual field trips! In these COVID times it is super hard to have to stay at school and not have a fun field trip. At least with these, they can have fun exploring the internet and finding cool information about each event. It is fun to use whole group or independently. Awesome resource.

Haleigh P. –
Myself and students loved this resource. It gave great information on Day of the Dead. It is a little lengthy and would be best to be done over the course of a few days. Some of the slides are a bit wordy as well and seem to loose some students. Overall, we enjoyed going through the slideshow together and learning new facts.
