1st posting

I've never had a blog before---I've never NEEDED a blog before! I have the chance of a lifetime to go to the Galapagos Islands as part of a group of teachers sponsored by Toyota and I leave on November 21st. My goal is to send back a short message and photos every day while I'm gone (technology permitting), so I want to be sure this site is up and running. My AMAZING students have been learning about the Galapagos and they now know more than any other elementary kids in Utah, and probably more than most adults and this trip is for THEM. I want to bring back every scrap of knowledge that I can and share it with them and with all the other teachers and students in Utah, so here's my homework assignment for you all:
Ask me your questions. Tell me what you want to know and what you want to see. I'll do my best to answer every question and I'll try to take a picture of everything you ask for. And please give me ideas for how to make this blog better---I'll bet you've all done it more than I have and I'll be glad for your ideas!
p.s. don't forget to check out my webpage on our school website--it has great links to information about the Galapagos and other great sites.
