Can you believe it’s Friday? Valentines will be here before soon. I thought I would take us on a Virtual Field Trip to give us something new to view. Our Homeschool Resource is NPS Petrified Forest and brought to us through the Homeschool Buyers Co-Op and ClickSchooling. I can’t wait for Charlie and I to finish his school work so we can sit down and check out NPS Petrified Forest.
While I was on NPS Petrified Forest website I saw a section for Junior Forest Rangers which I want to share with Charlie. I was able to talk to Charlie and he is wanting to check out Virtual Field Trip for Rainbow Forest Museum Bone Zone because Charlie loves Dinosaurs and Rocks. I bet you Rainbow Forest Museum Bone Zone will be Charlies favorite part of our Virtual Field Trip.

I would like to know if you have been on this Virtual Field Trip. If not is this a Field Trip you would check into? Or do you prefer other Virtual Field Trips? If so what kind of Field Trips and where do you find them at? Charlie and I are not sure where to find Virtual Field Trips at and we need all the help we can get.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
