Countdown to the Coral Reef Study
Hi Everybody!
Here I am, testing my blogging skills on my first journal entry. So far, so good, right?
Less than two weeks to go before the expedition. So much to do in so little time. I am happy to meet my host classroom teachers: Brenda a kindergarten teacher from Colorado and Jay, a fourth grade teacher from New York. Their enthusiasm and friendliness inspire me even more to make the most of this unique experience, learning as much as I can and communicating that knowledge back to you to the best of my ability.

Denise, my class is very excited! We looked at the globe today and talked about where you will be- talked about the differences between there and Colorado. I have ordered several research videos and books- so we are prepareing to create our list of questions for you.- Brenda in Colorado
Denise, thank you for taking this on, I know it's a lot of work. You are the perfect person from San Mateo Park School for this and we can hardly wait to celebrate our Week of the Reef with you.

Denise,
You are a very brave lady. My class eagerly will be waiting to hear and learn more about your adventure. The Coral Reef sounds like a special place to go...........Mrs. J Rollins
Hi Denise,
My fourth graders and I are delighted to have the opportunity to follow you and the others on the Bahamian Reef Survey. While we'll be on school vacation this week, we discussed your upcoming expedition before we left and some of the students came up with the following questions: (1) Why are you interested in exploring the coral reef? (2) What do you hope to learn and find out? (3) If your expedition finds out what might be destroying/polluting the coral reef what do you think this will lead to? (4) Do you think you may come across anything of archaeological value? (5)What are the backgrounds of the other people on the trip?
We're excited to keep in touch and hear from you throughout your adventure.We thank you and Earthwatch for encouraging us to collaborate and learn from your travels. This relates so well to our yearlong theme of discovery and exploration.
All the best for now.
Good luck!

Hey Denise! What an adventure FOR YOU! I hope you are experiencing a memorable time. Our Kindergarteners are very excited about the coral reef thanks to you. We even wrote a song on your behalf! See you soon. Beth MARSH
Denise, Thank you so much for all your hard work. The live video conference earlier today went was fantastic. And, you looked great! Our students will have even more questions for you when you return.
