It has changed our society, albeit for the short term, we all hope.  But it has changed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-black-color has-text-color\"> In Iowa, at least one high school does not recognize snow days.   Days that would usually give kids a surprise days off now result in virtual learning days.   Maybe a more efficient approach to the school year but eliminating those early morning yells of glee when school has been canceled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-black-color has-text-color\">As homeschoolers we don&#8217;t really get snow days.   I have seen some families celebrate snow days and switch up their day to include snow play.  But when you look closer there is still a school day in there filled with hot cocoa, sledding and a few snowmen.<br><br>One really great outcome from the pandemic are all the free on-line virtual tours.  Below are the links to a few of our favorites.  I hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoc.gov\/explore-capitol-campus\/visitor-resources\/virtual-field-trips\">United States<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoc.gov\/explore-capitol-campus\/visitor-resources\/virtual-field-trips\">Capitol tours<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission_pages\/station\/main\/suni_iss_tour.html\">International Space Station<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ktGPIsJbYng\">International Space Station in 3D<\/a>:  3D Glasses needed<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nr5Pj6GQL2o\">Moon Tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artsandculture.google.com\/partner\/museo-nacional-de-antropologia-mexico\">National Museum of Anthropology of Mexico<\/a>  Pictures of 100s of artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/explore.org\/livecams\/bald-eagles\/decorah-eagles-north-nest\">Decorah Eagles Nest:<\/a>  Live camera of an eagles nest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilovelibraries.org\/article\/take-virtual-tours-these-stunning-libraries?fbclid=IwAR0xcAGcKljX1qirGZNaGoF3PsQwlFZkIEFuxB86in9OMBXNKeMpvv2v7IM\">Libraries<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The global pandemic has brought on disappointment, isolation and separation from those we love.
