I am here!!!!

I love to fly as it reminds me of the vastness and three dimensionality of this small planet on which we live. It was amazing to rise above the clouds and to see them suspended in mid-air. We are all settled in and it is very darkand cold here. Evidence of yesterday's snow lingers. Will begin my adventure in earnest tomorrow as we meet with the scientists leading our team. My fellow teachers are all very nice and interesting people. My roomate is Lindsey. She was an environmental education specialist before she became a teacher. She is from Mexico, Maine. You were wrong about Polly who has been teaching for 37 years, she does not bake cookies; although she does like to cook.

Today's assignment is (drum roll please!!!!!!)
