Climate Change at the Arctic's Edge with Ms. Santoro

Hello! Welcome to my blog. I recently traveled to Churchill, Canada to work with scientists studying the impact of climate change. They are trying to learn more about our planet in order to help us take care of it. Please join me in helping children learn about the ways that people all over the world take care of our planet. Write in now. Look for one of the blue "comments" words. Click on it and leave me a message about how you REDUCE, REUSE or RECYCLE.

One vote for Poley (well, 2 votes since Trevor is voting, too) from Rhode Island. Teresa, 4. I like the other names, too, though.

I think that the stuffed polar bear should be named the Spanish word for polar bear: Oso Blanco!
