Today we have a bit of a “Throwback Thursday” on a Friday – and please accept our apologies for not finding this website sooner to share with you! The following is a 360-degree virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel, created by a team of faculty and students who took several thousand digital photographs to produce this. You can zoom in and out, and get quite close to all of the paintings. It’s very cool!

Although it would have been wonderful to have this link back in the fall while we were learning about Michelangelo, go ahead and share it with your kids anyway – see what they can remember about this famous masterpiece, and marvel at all the details you can see here!
Have a terrific weekend, and don't forget about this excellent opportunity (which happens to pair wonderfully with our science unit right now) scheduled for tomorrow:
Tour the Cal Poly Pier in Avila Beach – May 14, 9am to noon. The tour features interactive displays, microscopes for viewing ultra-small sea creatures, a “discover SCUBA” experience and more. Cal Poly professors and students will be on hand to explain their ongoing research into local marine life, including Morro Bay's ecosystem, sustaining local fisheries and mapping ocean currents on the Central Coast.
