Journal Entry

The past few days and the upcoming ones have become even busier then I think I could realize.  Lollie  (she is on the Oden Expedition leaving after me), had a set of extreme cold weather clothing sent to us to show our students and our schools following with us.   It was definitely not what they expected- much bulkier, heavier and hotter then they anticipated.  And then there were the bunnie boots.... It gave them an opportunity to be even more a part of this with me.   

Lollie and I were part of the Sally Ride Science festival last weekend. We were able to  talk to quite a few teachers in elementary and middle school who brought their students out to discover science fields at Rice University.  

Everything is moving along pretty fast.  This weekend is set aside to plan and produce everything that my Geo 2 students need to finish out the semester.  Thank goodness for Julia, Sandy and Scott!! Julia is a preservice geography teacher and she is going to take care of my Geo2 jrs. and srs. and Sandy and Scott are going to keep my Geo1 class going.!    

10 days left now...
