WooHoo!!!



Today is the day that we begin our journey to Vietnam. A quick recap of what we did in class yesterday.

  • Each group had a copy of the case study "Butterflies of Vietnam: Revealing the Health of the Forest.
  • You were each assigned a section and were responsible for
    1. Reading aloud
    2. Discussing your section and the environmental issues within it.
    3. Taking notes.
    4. Creating a poster for a class presentation.
  • The presentations were wonderful and you all made me proud with your understanding of the key points of the research that is being conducted with Vu in Tam Dao National Park.
I am beginning to get very nervous but I cannot wait to talk to you all live from Vietnam (I just think that it's the coolest thing ever). I miss you already!!!

Ideally, I would like a different student from every class post a comment or question regarding the trip each day. Discuss the research briefly with the class and together come up with a response.

Be good!!!

p.s. Grant- you are responsible for keeping me updated on Scrubs and The Office. :)

Hi Ms. Winzeler -

How is it going in Vietnam? Are the people nice? also what are the sights like? The Buttrerflies that we were studying seemed really interesting on finding out what to do to catch one. The projects were fun to do even though A.M. made all of those weird looking butterflies.

P.S. I wish my group could have done hurricanes but Andrew had to pick Tsunami's because he said he knew a lot about them.

Sorry I missed your call from Hong Kong. If you can snap a few pictures, send them back while you are there - I can add them to the website and get them to the students. Remember - they studied this area of the world in social studies. Thanks to your journey, many will never forget it!.

I am glad to be a part of this monumental experience you are able to provide for your students.
