VMNH Education Manager Christy Deatherage was inside the Lee and George W. Lester, II How Nature Works gallery today with the museum's resident painted turtle, Sheldon, for a virtual education program with over 70 kindergarteners from Preston Park Elementary School in Roanoke!

In this clip, the students are tasked with identifying the different objects Christy showed off as either living or not-living. The activity was part of the "Classification 101" virtual program, which focussed on animal characteristics and basic needs.

My 4 year old son loves going to the museum. The exhibits are educational, interactive and kid-friendly.
