Echo's Adventures Project

We have been learning about map skills as a part of our first social studies unit.  Today we designed our Echo dolphins for our Echo Adventure project.  

We’re asking that you provide the name and address of one relative and/or close friend that lives in another state who would be willing to participate in our dolphin exchange.  The recipient will be asked to use a provided template to write a short letter about how Echo spent his time in his/her state.  He or she is also encouraged to send pictures documenting his visit.  For example, someone living in New York might take a picture with Echo in front of the Statue of Liberty.  When Echo is returned to school, our class will plot his travels on a map and share the information received with each other.  It will be a tremendous learning experience for your child.  We are very excited about it!!

A form is in your child's take home folder for you to include the information needed for this project.  If you do not know someone in another state, please just email me and let me know.  I will help your child find a location to send it to.  Thank you for your help!
