High School (9-12)
Travel Buddy Begins Journey
August 29, 2008
Mojo the
Monkey, a travel buddy in Mrs. Birney’s freshman world geography
class began his journey on Friday, August 29, 2008. Mojo was
given to Mrs. Marilyn White, a junior high teacher in Bucklin, who
started him on his journey. Mrs. White took Mojo to Tulsa,
Oklahoma over Labor Day weekend. Emails and postcards will
keep the class up date as to where Mojo travels during the school
year. The class will also chart his journey on a world map,
log the number of miles he travels, and study the areas of the
world he visits. In the past 10 years the travel buddies have
visited all the continents except Antarctica. They have been on
cruises and safaris, climbed mountains, “performed” on stage with
entertainers, attended celebrity weddings, watched several NASCAR,
NFL, and NBA games, and even toured in a hot air balloon. The
class is excited to see what adventure Mojo will experience this
year.
