Mr. DeMay’s third grade class has been learning all about the Statue of Liberty in their Reading module. To make the lesson come to life, students had the opportunity to use VR headsets to take a virtual field trip to Liberty Island! They were able to look up at Lady Liberty as if they were really there, exploring her size, detail, and history up close. It was an exciting way to connect their reading to a real-world experience and spark curiosity about one of America’s most iconic landmarks!
