We are proud to share with you a new resource brought to us by a student named Ella. Ella loves to learn and has been using the resources from this page alongside the guidance of her teacher. She then took her learning to the next level when she and her parents found a resource on their own and shared it with her wonderful teacher. Ella thinks this would be fun for any student to enjoy and her teachers agree. Below, find a link to Ella's resource of virtual road trips from home. Thank you Ella for sharing this with our IDEA members!
