Hope you are doing well as we all adjust to this "new normal" way of life! If someone were to ask me what I love most about being a Library Teacher, I would have to say that there is ALWAYS something interesting that I can connect to...we can READ and LEARN about quite literally, ANYTHING. And what better place to learn about things than MUSEUMS?
Many museums are offering tours and content online JUST FOR YOU. So, lets call this MUSEUM MONDAY
Below are some links to museums that you might like to explore.
Write a comment below about something that you learned so we can keep in touch. My cats are happy to have me home during the day, but they are pretty boring because they sleep SO MUCH... I really miss you guys!!!
