GOOGLE ARTS & CULTURE:Google Arts & Culture has some awesome online exhibits that consist of everything from articles, to videos, to virtual tours. I have compiled a list of GAC collections that I think might be good/interesting for 5th graders, but they are all too vast for me to personally pre-screen every element. Therefore, I'm not going to post direct links here.
Parents: I think these exhibits would be awesome for you to explore online as a family. If you'd like my list of collections and their links, please shoot me an email ([email protected]) or message me on Remind, and I will send it your way! |
