Dear friend,
As we look toward the upcoming school year, the DIG Team is working on new ways we can continue to serve teachers and students across the country as many classrooms continue with virtual education. We will update our website as new information becomes available.
Due to the Burke Museum closure and physical distancing guidelines in place, we have temporarily suspended DIG Burke Box and Microfossil sediment box requests. If you're looking for inspiration for activities to do at home or with your students, Burke from Home is a great place to start, and please check out other updates from the DIG Team in this email.
Best regards,
The DIG Team
