Kindergarten students experienced the change of seasons and storms as we explored tornados, hurricanes, volcaoes and viewed a variety of seasons at Denali National Park in Alaska! We took a virtual field trip with our tour guide, Mr. Webb, from the Wexford Missaukee ISD. He brought us VR headsets and gave us an amazing tour that helped solidify our learning about the seasons and weather. Not only did we learn about the power of nature, we also learned about how to stay safe in a storm.
