We had lots to talk about with Georgia from the civil rights movement, to salt marshes, to the Appalachian Trail. The kids also really enjoyed our virtual field trip to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, which has lots of live webcams to watch.

| Georgia peaches |
The kids wanted to depict peaches for their Georgia art project. We looked at a lot of images online, and used a couple of photos for inspiration. They chose slightly different paths - one wanted to depict peaches on a branch and used sharpie and oil pastel, with water color only for the sky, whereas the other wanted to make a still life of peaches on a plate using pastel for outlines and details and water color for everything else.
