WOW!! What a fantastic trip the 4th graders had to the Georgia Aquarium! We spent the morning exploring the Cold Water Quest, Georgia Explorer, Ocean Voyager, River Scout, Tropical Diver, and Sea Monsters Revealed on our own. After a quick bite, we then went on a behind-the-scenes tour above the main tanks to learn even more about our marine friends! We ended with a 4-D movie with Deepo that taught us about taking care of the ocean. If you have more pics, please e-mail them to me!
