National Geographic Live: Brian Skerry



Mrs. Yollis and the other third grade students went on a field trip to see Ocean Soul by Brian Skerry. This program was sponsored in part by Ingrid Hanzer on behalf of  National Geographic Live! 
In reading and science, the class is learning about animal habitats. 

The ocean is the world's largest habitat! 



Students line up to board the bus to the Broad Theatre. Thank you, PFC, for sponsoring the travel expenses!



We were met by Dan Beaupre,  director of Educational Partnerships for National Geographic Live!

After the presentation, students ate lunch on the grass outside the theater.





Brian Skerry emailed Mrs. Yollis some photographs to use on the class blog! Remember, it is essential to have permission to use someone's work. 

Here are some of Brian Skerry's wonderful photos!

Our time spent learning about the ocean with Brian Skerry was inspiring. Here are some watercolor paintings created by students after seeing Mr. Skerry's photographs of the ocean.
