Costa Rica- here we come! I'm excited to have the opportunity to share the experiences of travel and exploration with four of my current and previous students at Hunter B. Andrews PreK-8 School. Tayvon, Stephanie, Cameron, Jake and his family, and I will be traveling to Costa Rica in June to explore a new area of the world for all of us!
We expect to get down with hands on science in the jungles of this Central American country, exploring flora and fauna to better understand the dynamics of such a rich and diverse ecosystem. With the trip just around the corner, the students and I need to start thinking about what we're going to take with us. While the temperatures will be warm, long sleeve shirts and pants will be a must to prevent the mosquitos from draining our blood; apparently they're worse there than in Hampton (I don't know how this is possible).
Hiking a dormant volcano, zip lining through the canopy, swimming under waterfalls, and learning to salsa are only a few of the items on our agenda. Be sure to keep up with our blog for videos, pictures, and general impressions from each of us throughout our week long trip!
