Over the weekend, I had the most awesome opportunity come up that I would love you to be able to experience. A Twitter contact (@ksivick) helped connect me with Michael League, an explorer, researcher, teacher at the McMurdo Station in Antarctica! He works with an organization called PolarTREC which stands for teachers and researchers exploring and collaborating. Mr. League is currently in Antarctica, but will be returning this Friday. We don't have much time to prepare, but we are busily get ready for this exciting event! My class is thrilled we could sqeeze in this excellent learning opportunity.

I think Michael League`s presentation was fantastic I still can’t believe we spoke to a person that far away in Antarctica its so amazing. I can’t believe i got to ask him a question. My favorite part is when he showed us a video of him going down in the water.

I enjoyed this presintaion because we got to talk with a man all the way in Antartica and all the animals there. I mean,I had no clue that all of those animals lived there in an icecap where everything is relly ice. It was an once in a lifetime experience. I loved it too.

Dear Ms.Tripp
ReplyDeleteIt was cool skyping with someone who is all the way in Antartica. I think you worked hard to get us to skpye with Mr.League. The pictures he showed us were amazing who knew ocean sea life was so beautiful. I don't think I could do a job like that in Antartica. Once again thank you for letting our class join yours.
sincerely,
