Aloha Ms. W!

I watched your very excellent video and boy is it a great way to explain your mission. Really nice job filming and editing! I look forward to following your adventure and listening in on the Webinar on April 2.

What kind of gun were you using to shoot da bear? Cork, potato? You have such great spirit and gusto in all you do :)

Do you think you will see the aurora while you are researching? I'd love to see a picture if you do!

warmly, Mrs. P and her seventh grade students

Hello Mrs. P and students!
   I am now in Barrow,AK.  At breakfast this morning one of the local people that works at the college told us the story of how they had a polar bear in their neighborhood this morning.  She lives about 5 miles from us at the Research center. The public safety officers were trying to push it out of the neighborhood with the lights from their trucks rather than a Marshmallow gun that I had in the video.  We'll keep an eye out for it though because it is one of the first polar bear sightings since the OASIS team has been here.
