    1. Explain which field trip you are most excited about.
    I am most excited about the Discovery Childrens Museum! I went to the original Lied Discovery
    Museum on a field trip when I was in elementary school, and I have taken my own daughter there
    numerous times. I am excited to see what the new museum has to offer my students!! I always
    thought the Lied Discovery Museum was the most fascinating place as a child. I know my students
    will love it as much as I did.

    2. What challenges did you run into during this assignment?
    During this assignment, I had challenges finding virtual field trips for the primary grades. There were so
    many suggested online, but after I navigated through most of them, I realized the content seemed
    more appropriate for older elementary students. I finally found two virtual field trips that I believe are
    appropriate for younger students, and I think students in grades K-2 will enjoy them!
