Let it snow, Let it Snow...

Maggie says "Hi" and "Will someone throw the tennis ball for me?"
Question: What does a Minnesota winter and the energizer bunny have in common? You guessed that right!! It sure was bright out when I left school today. Our students were sent home at 1:20 which gave me some time to meet with our computer specialist extraordinaire and get set up for Skype. Thanks, Elsa! It's quite an amazing program. I'm looking forward to using it to involve my students in this adventure. We just finished learning about tides, so I hope there is a chance to see the Bay of Fundy which has some of the largest tidal changes in the world.

Hockey and rubber boots

GO BEAVERS!! Sorry, but I just had to get that in there. It's a great thing for college hockey and our community, when our 16th seeded Beavers (Bemidji State University) made it to the final (frozen) four. I went out to the hunting cabin yesterday to get my rubber boots. Still about 18" of ice on the lakes and 5-12" of new snow predicted for the next 24-36 hours. I haven't "summerized" my snow shovel yet. On Saturday, I watched two bald eagles fly down to the ice to munch on some frozen sunfish. Awesome birds!! I wonder what kinds of birds we'll be seeing in Nova Scotia? Still a lot of things to do to get ready. Only 12 more days!

Counting down the days!

Only 17 more days and I'll be boarding the plane on the first step towards Nova Scotia! I 'm really looking forward to interacting with the other team members who come from all over the United States. I'm also excited about learning more about Nova Scotia and meeting some of the people who live there. What a wonderful opportunity to be able to share this adventure with my students at Bemidji Middle School.
