Travel Buddy Project!!! Looking for more classes!

by Tiffany

Aug 2, 2011

Hello!

I’m looking for elementary level classes across the country to partake in our Traveling Buddy project to tie in with our Social Studies curriculum. My goal is for my students to learn about 3 key concepts: natural resources, physical geography and climate of each of the places that our buddy travels to by writing a short note from your class as well as including brochures, map or a couple items about where you live and learn! We are also able to skype to check in on our buddy!

Our class would send our buddy, along with information all about where we live and learn. The buddy will stay with each class participating for one week. If you are interested, please email me at alohamomts (at) yahoo dot com (make sure to type it as a valid email address!)

I will also keep classes informed of the new places "the buddy" is traveling!

Thanks! Tiffany

I can gladly send you all of the information. Just email me your email address at tmaron (at) sburg.org ...just type it in with the @ sign instead of (at)- helps to avoid spam! :) Basically, we would send you our travel buddy, which happens to be a sting ray, along with maps, brochures, other small artifacts and information all about where we live in Pennsylvania. The buddy would stay with your class for about a week. Your class would keep a simple journal of what the buddy experienced that week and send back the buddy along with maps, brochures, etc of where your students live. I will then update your class on our "buddy's" whereabouts and travels! So, by the end, your class will have a wealth of information about the different places! You would just have to pay for the postage to send the buddy and his goodies back. However, I intend on sending via the $5 flatrate box through usps. Please just send me your school address, email and teacher name if you are interested and I will send you all of the information!

Thanks for taking an interest! Tiffany :)
