School starts in another week, and one of our early activities with this year’s sixth graders will be to create and release around 60 Travel Bugs. We did this project last year and it was highly successful, thanks in no small part to the terrific cachers in central WI. Thanks! About 50 of these TB’s are still circulating. Many of you put in a lot of extra effort to move our TBs, post pics, and write great log entries, which was very much appreciated.
Travel Bugs form a central theme all year long across our curriculums. The narratives and letters to cachers are com arts assignments. The travels are tracked on large maps in the hall and tied to social studies and geography. The website work and tracking are part of computer ed. The math folks are looking at doing some statistical work with TB’s this year. The possibilities are only limited by our creativity and imagination – the students get excited with any projects having to do with ‘their’ TB.
Our 2008 TB’s will be primarily released to the GeoWorld through our two caches – the Seton’s Eagle Nest ( GC13EA5 ) just west of Menasha, and Seton’s St. M-M Travel Bug Retreat ( GC17508 ) in Waupaca. Notifications will be posted here as we send them out in small batches.
Thanks alot in advance! Our kids REALLY like this, and we can only make it happen with the support of our caching friends.
