Good morning, welcome to our Homeschool Resources: Alphabet, Virtual Field Trip, & Museums. I don’t know about where you live but here it is too cold to go outside. Which means Homeschool has to be inside today and since it’s so cold were camping out on the Couch which will not stop us from learning as we are going to go on a Virtual Field Trip. Would you like to go with us?
