Ocean Adventures

Hi kids,

I am out sick today. I didn't even get to see the lunar eclipse!

Hopefully, you had a chance to see the beginning!!
We can find a time lapse to view together.


Today, finish your project. I can't wait to see how amazing they are!!

If you finish, watch the blendspace videos and work on questions for "Allez Voir" and "Women In Oceanography." Your teacher will give you these.

Do you best and have a great day!
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!


Here's the blendspace:
