When I turned the paper calendar to the month of October, it hit me - in just a little over two months, I will be on my way to Antarctica! So much to do and time is going fast, this was the other thought that ran through my mind. Excitement, anticipation and I have to admit - a tad bit of anxiety are my feelings at this point. Working with our technology integration specialist, Jana, we came up with a fabulous idea to really involve my students in the expedition. They will be researching various topics relating to Antarctica, writing and illustrating a children's book and then creating a narrated movie of the their book. My plan is to link the movies on the "Resource" page of this webpage. Also, the public library would like to have the students come in April and share their stories.
Below is a map with the general itinerary of the expedition as well as a picture of the Explorer, the ship I will be living on during the expedition.
