Looking for a good home.

We may have the need to help a Spanish colleague out. If you have been following my “Fluvi” blogline, you know we offered to host the aqueous mascot of the EXPO 2008 Zaragosa in our suburban Western New York town.  The sponsors of the Expo offered 20 mascots free to a  Zaragosa school to mail to schools on every continent. The “Fluvis” can stay at their host schools, all you have to do is mail pics and stories about his(her?) adventures back to the home school. I offered assistance to the organizing teacher to spread the word. The theme of the Expo is “Water and Sustainable Development”.
You can send me information if you are interested, I can pass it on. Can’t promise a mascot-but this is something we should be talking about anyway in our classrooms.

    Hello Linda Our school is in a small rural community, in south eastern Australia, would be able to help out. Our science department is actively working on environmental science and actively study water and sustainable content in conjunction with the local water catchment authority. My email is mirtschin@gmail.com if we can help.

    Linda, I haven’t been following this thread, but I teach about water and sustainability all year long in my Earth Science class. We should talk sometime. I structure my entire class around issues of human interaction with the environment…even though my standards don’t focus on that…

    Hola Linda,

    La verdad es que te mandé un mensaje porque no sabía dónde comentarte.

    Acerca de la Expo de Zaragoza, tiene muy buena pinta, tienes razón y va sobre el agua y no sé qué más. Me gustaría visitarla pues me perdí la Expo de Sevilla en 1992 y además tengo algunos familiares en Zaragoza. Así puedo matar dos pájaros de un tiro.

    Por cierto, espero que no te moleste que te escriba en español. Al menos, tendrás un comentario un tanto diferente.

    Bueno, mucha suerte en tu blog.

    Pedro-
    Gracias por su comentario tan amable.
    Muestra a todo la red es para hacer conexiones con gente de todas partes.
    Tambien muestra la importancia de aprender una idioma diferente. ¡Los que no saben leer español están bien confudidos ahora!
    Por eso, tengo una profesion segura.
    ¡Por favor-regresa pronto!
    ~Linda
