Hi everyone,
I came away energized by our meeting Tuesday and look forward to our next gathering in June! In the meantime, for those of you who were engaged with Charlotte Church's journal and might want to explore further, this is a link to it online. Can you see this being useful with your students? What might be the pros and cons? Not easy for kids to read in cursive I know.
Have any of you used online resources from the museum? What has been most useful? What have been the challenges?
Wishing you all a happy, sunny spring! Look forward to our next gathering in early June.
Best,
Martha

I mentioned the book "Whale Port" to some of you. This book is full of great illustrations and has detailed inofrmation on whaling, whalers, trades, the economy, etc.
Those of you interested in shares and wages will find page 44 of particular interest.
Since there was a lot of discussion of the past and present restorations of the Morgan, you might be interested in these photos:

Welcome Teachers!
Hi Group!
We had a great meeting yesterday - thank you all for participating and sharing. I am very excited to hear about your experience. This blog is a way for the whole group to connect instead of sending lots of emails back and forth. I'll still send emails about important things, meetings, dates, etc. - but the blog is where we can share ideas, photos that you took of inspiring things (like whale kidney stones:) or videos of things that were meaningful to you. Also feel free to post about websites, games or other things that are useful in your class. All of this information is important and will be taken into consideration when creating the Online Learning Community.
I look forward to reading your posts!
