Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a wonderful break.  It’s hard to believe we are almost halfway through the school year.  We have some exciting activities coming up this month.  We will visit with archaeologists in Nebraska to learn how they conserve and preserve our national parks.  Later, we will meet with a ranger at the Channel Islands while he does a live SCUBA dive.  He will reach us about the kelp forest ecosystem.  We will virtually communicate with these rangers.

We will begin our collaboration with our friends in Ghana within the next two weeks.  We will first learn about each others’ cultures and then possibly move into exchanging information about our national parks.

Are you ready?  Let’s go!
