The start of school has left us all so busy settling in and adjusting, it's hard to believe I will be leaving for my adventure in just a week. I am very excited to meet the rest of my team members. I am quite nervous to leave for places soooo far north, and I must admit to the students and staff at school that my main concern is having the right clothing. However, a few of the teams members, who are appear to be far more winter oriented, have kindly giving me their expertise. 

I am posting a few pictures of my shoe expedition, as my hiking shoes from past Frost Valley expeditions did not seem up to the climate I am heading toward. The weather is apparently quite unpredictable this time of year, so I have to be prepared for hot, cold, rain and snow.

Ms. Chasworth and Ms. Perry's  classes as well as those classes involved in following me, will be able to post questions about this trip. You will be exploring the "Arctic" and it's environment.  We will look at "Why this area in the world is important to us in Canarsie and how what happens here effects us. 

Please feel free this week to stop by and ask questions or just wish me a good journey. I will leave a folder outside my door this week for questions.
