TMSG: Teacher’s Virtual Field Trip To The Zoo Melts Hearts

Washington kindergarten teacher Garett Talcott has social media all wanting a teacher just like him thanks to his viral TikTok video.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, field trips obviously haven’t been happening in schools. So Talcott took his kindergarten students on a virtual field trip to the zoo. In the adorable clip, Talcott walked around the wildlife park, teaching his students about the natural habitats of all the animals.

Instead of letting the pandemic take away the fun, Talcott upped his creativity and still made the best out of a bad situation. Talcott ended up commenting on his video sharing, “The students really loved it – it was a surprise and a shared interactive experience. In person is ideal, but they loved it.”
