Alaska - Here we come!

Right now, we are preparing for a trip to Alaska. The preparation seems to be consuming me at the moment, but I am trying to keep things in balance and still enjoy the next couple of weeks. We are doing a mini unit study on Alaska. We are studying about some of the interesting animals and the history of Alaska. John-John is reading Windsong by Gary Paulsen. Michael and Cari are reading Balto and the Great Race by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel. We will have the opportunity to stay with some friends in Cantwell, AK who are Alaskan Native Americans. We are so excited to see them and their part of the world. Cantwell is located between Anchorage and Fairbanks. It is my hope that we will be able to keep up with this blog in order to share our experience with friends and family. Hopefully, it will be sort of a virtual field trip for others who cannot go there this summer. -Mari
