TOLEDO, Ohio A Toledo teacher didn't let coronavirus stop her from taking her students to Washington.<\/p>\n
Tammy Edinger teaches 8th grade at Elmhurst Elementary School. She's taken her students to the nation's capital for nearly a decade.<\/p>\n
Since they can't physically make the trip this year, she created a virtual trip. The Facebook group she created is full of videos of museums and theaters the students were supposed to visit.<\/p>\n
Edinger also encouraged them to post pictures of themselves packing their bags and partaking in the fun.<\/p>\n
\"I've had to kind of think outside the box on things I can do with them. Lessons and making me think across the curriculum that I didn't have before. It brings out their creativity, Edinger said.<\/p>\n
Edinger said she's gotten the attention of other teachers across the country who are now joining in, as well as parents of students who are coming along for the ride.<\/p>\n
