Left for my trip 8/20/07!
Well, I'm off!!  I'm starting on another trip across the country... only this time I decided to go WEST to EAST! It's so exciting to travel across the U.S.A. and meet kids from each state. I never quite know who I will meet or what interesting things I will learn. That's why I keep this online journal... so I won't forget any of it!

You may be wondering why I first decided to travel through the mail. Well, I read a story called, "Owney, the Traveling Dog" by Lynn Hall. It was all about an adventurous puppy named Owney. He was a real dog who lived in the 1800's in Albany, New York. He didn't have a home of his own, so the nice postal workers let him stay in the post office and they took care of him. Owney just loved to sleep on the mailbags!

One day, Owney followed the mailbags as they were put on a railway mail train (Yes, the mail was delivered by train!). Owney began to ride with the bags on trains across the state—- and then across the country (and even around the world!). He just loved to travel! The workers at the post offices around the country "adopted" Owney as their unofficial mascot and remembered his travels by placing medals and tags on his collar of all the places he visited.

Well, after reading this story I got an idea! I decided that I could do just like Owney and travel with the postal workers... but instead of traveling from post office to post office, I would travel from classroom to classroom meeting kids from each state! So that's how I got started last year (If you want to read about my travels from 2006-2007, just click here). I'm sure you can tell how excited I am to try my trip again this year!!

Here I am just before I got into my box!  My binder has all the things I need for my trip (with your special help!).	The first thing you'll see are these instruction pages which remind you of everything you'll need to do to help me have the safest trip!
Then you'll see this purple folder of books about Owney. Of course, there are lots more to choose from... but I only had room for two.	This one is from the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.
This is Dirk Wales book, "A Lucky Dog."	Before you send me on my way, please have everyone I meet sign my Friends Journal. I wonder how many names I will collect!
There is also a map to color your state. Click here if you'd like to print your own map!	I also made sure to bring mailing labels for my box. The left label is for your return address and the right label is for the next destination.
If you decide to, you can add a souvenir to my bandana or collar (but it's not necessary!). Mrs. Stamp gave me a Virginia keychain and a Washington D. C. keychain to remind me of home (since my city, Manassas, VA, is close to our nation's capital).

Since I first read about Owney, I have read more and more books about this adventurous dog... I just can't learn enough! You can learn more about him too, in books and online. You can also learn more about the Postal Service and the United States.

Well, I'm off for my trip! Please check back to see how my 2007-2008 adventure is going!! Don't forget to mail a postcard to each of the other 49 classrooms so they can learn more about your state too. Here are the postcard labels (as of 9/30/07).

WOOF!

1. due to arrive 8/24/07, arrived 8/23/07
(traveled 2,744 miles)
Mrs. Dixon's 3rd grade class
Dry Creek Elementary School
Rio Linda, CA 95673

Hi Friends,

Wow, what an exciting start to my trip!  I arrived here in California one day early, and began with an adventure right away.  Ms. Dixon’s Third Grade Class at Dry Creek Elementary was actually at a different school site since their school is being remodeled, and I was delivered to the wrong place!  Luckily, Ms. Dixon knew that I was on my way and was able to call their awesome custodian, who so kindly drove me right over to their classroom! 

The kids were all busy working on math, and were so excited to see me!  They made Ms. Dixon take me right out of the box, and taught me a little bit about addition and subtraction, since they were reviewing all of that right then.  They had only been in school for 4 days, so everyone was still learning their new routines and procedures.  I got to learn about how important it is to work together with others, and they let me help with their class graph about favorite ice cream flavors too. 

After we had worked for awhile, it was time for a break, so we all went outside for recess.  When I got out there, I had another surprise waiting for me…some of the kids from Ms. Dixon’s class last year were outside, and were thrilled to finally meet me.  (Since I didn’t make it to all of the classes across the country last year, these kids heard about me all year, but never got to meet me themselves.  Needless to say, we were all very excited!)  The kids taught me how to jump rope, play basketball, hopscotch, and even play tic-tac-toe.  I couldn’t believe how much fun everyone had at recess!  Once we were done playing, we got to go eat lunch, and boy was I hungry!  The third graders are great at sharing, and I had plenty to eat that day!  I ate some chicken nuggets, a little fruit, and drank a little delicious chocolate milk…yum yum! 

When we got back to class, I learned about the third grade class library, and was amazed at all of the books in Ms. Dixon’s room!  It would take me forever to read all of them!  (She told me that she loves books…and I really believe her!)  After I spent some time reading, the kids showed me the puzzle that they had just recently finished working on.  It was so cool!  All of the kids had made a little puzzle piece that looked like them, and then they stuck them all together like a puzzle!  I think I want to make one for myself next time I come to visit! 

Well, after a long day of visiting, the kids decided that I had to meet some other people at their school, so I got to see the school secretary, Miss Candy, the principal, Mr. Garcia, and I got to say hi again to the great custodian too!  I even got to take pictures with all of them!  How fun!  Since we were all pretty tired from all the work we did that day, everyone had to get ready to go home.  The third graders showed me how good they are at putting their book boxes away, stacking their chairs, getting their homework folders out, and cleaning up their classroom.  I was really proud of how well they all did.  I bet they’ve been working really hard in their first week of school!  Even though I was very sad, it was time to say goodbye, and everyone gave me one last hug!  I watched them walk to the bus, and couldn’t believe how much fun I had had in just one day. 

What a great way to start my wonderful journey!  Now it looks like I’m off to Hawaii…I wonder if I will get a lei there!  It sure would be cool to add to my Disneyland lanyard, and Sacramento, California keychain that Ms. Dixon’s class gave me.  I just know that I will have tons of fun in Hawaii, and a blast on the rest of my trip.  But…I sure will miss everyone here in California! 

Love always,
Ollie

I received a warm welcome from my friends at Dry Creek Elementary.	Lunch was DEEEE-licious! (Boy, was I hungry!!)
Reading books is one of my favorite things to do.	Everything is so much more fun when we do it TOGETHER!
I was happy that this student showed me the ropes... 3rd grade is hard work!	Now I really got a chance at the ropes... JUMP rope, that is!
I loved meeting so many new friends in California.

Mrs. Glaser's 1st grade class
Kahuku Elementary School
Kahuku, HI 96731

Aloha,   
That’s what they say on the islands.  It means love, hello, and goodbye.  Wow!  I arrived at Kahuku Elementary School on Monday, August 27th at 11:55 am while Mrs. Glaser’s students were in music class; so Mrs. Glaser gave me the campus tour.
       
Our first stop was the office.  I met Mrs. Masaniai, principal; Mr. Izumi, Vice Principal; Aunty Kathy, Aunty Stacey, and Aunty Nani.  Then I met Aunty Carol, the health aide.  Since, Mrs. Glaser’s students wouldn’t be back for a little bit, I visited Mrs. Camit’s 2nd graders.  They were working on map skills and learning about the different continents.  I told them that I began my journey from North America!
       
Mrs. Glaser’s class returned from music class they were so happy to see me.  Alana presented me with a lei and everyone hugged me tight while I told them where I traveled from.  It was such a long flight.  Mason wondered if I had anything to eat.  Everyone takes such good care of me, just like Owney.
       
We read stories about Owney and then everyone wrote a story about me!  What a lucky dog I am!!  Now I’m off to Alaska.  The students think I might need a jacket in Alaska after being in tropical Hawai`i but I assured them that my coat is thick enough and if not, Mrs. Romine’s students will take care of me.  

Aloha,
Ollie

Aloha!  Hawaii is an island state. We are located on one of the seven major islands. Kahuku is a little town on the famous north shore of O`ahu. It was once a sugar plantation town. The old sugar mill closed in 1971 and is currently a shopping center. Kahuku High School draws its students from 26 miles of coastline. We are fortunate to watch pro surfers surf the giant waves of Banzai Pipeline, watch the magnificent sunsets at Sunset Beach, or just watch the monk seals and the sea turtles basking on our beaches.

Mrs. Romine's 3rd and 4th grade class
Eagle River Elementary School
Eagle River, AK 99577

I arrived in Alaska on Friday - that was a long trip over the Pacific Ocean, and I sure was glad to get out of my box.  All of the kids were excited to see me in my Hawaiian lei, and they quickly added a spiffy "Sled Dog in Training" scarf (maybe I can run in a future Iditarod!) 


I got a tour of the school, read a book in the library, and checked out the collection of skis in the hallway (they'll be using those soon.....snow usually starts in October).  I got plenty of hugs and snuggles while the kids were reading, and I got to hang out with some of the stuffed Alaskan animal friends in their classroom - a polar bear, beaver, caribou, and many, many moose.  I even saw a REAL moose on my way to the post office - right by the side of the road! 


We went outside to the playground and enjoyed the wonderful view of the Chugach Mountains, and the children told me that in a few months there will be lots of eagles in the trees near the playground; I guess that's why their town is called Eagle River.  They are about 15 minutes north of Anchorage, which is Alaska's largest city, and about 5 hours south of Mt. McKinley, the highest mountain peak in North America.  On a clear day they can sometimes see it!


I have really enjoyed my time here in Alaska, but I think I'll head out before the snow catches up with me.  I have lots of classes still to visit....Washington, here I come!

Dear Friends, Greetings from Alaska, the Last Frontier! We enjoyed our visit with Ollie and we hope he'll return one day to try out our official state sport, dog sled racing! We live in Eagle River, which is a small town just north of Anchorage, the biggest city in Alaska. And, in case you're wondering, no, we don't live in igloos--we have regular houses! We do have snow on the ground from October until April or May though, so sledding, ice skating, and hockey are all popular here. Favorite summer activities are salmon fishing, camping, and berry picking. It stays light until midnight in the summer, but in the winter we only have about 6 hours of daylight each day. We have many animals here, and since we're so close to wilderness, we see many of them in our yards or even walking down the street, like moose and bears! We also have eagles, caribou, whales, and polar bears in Alaska. Come visit one day--it's an exciting place!

Mrs. Tully-Doyle's 1st grade class
Madison Elementary School
Everett, WA  98203

I arrived in Washington on a Friday afternoon.  The weather was sunny and warm, but not quite as warm as Hawaii’s.  Still it was a beautiful afternoon!

I arrived during lunch, so I went down to the cafeteria and met Miss Jenny, the Lunch Lady, and some of the students I would be spending the afternoon with.  Then I headed back to the classroom to have a chat with Mrs. Tully-Doyle.  On the way I met the principal, Mr. Toland and had our picture taken.  

When the students returned from lunch, I had a lot of hugs and kisses.  Mrs. T-D had a desk for me and I liked that.  I helped with Calendar and was a star during the math activities.  I tried my best because I know that’s the key to being successful in school.

I didn’t get to visit very long, but I had a great time in Everett.  Did I mention the school mascot is a Husky?

Mrs. Isham's 2nd grade class
Claude G. Perkins Elementary School
North Las Vegas, NV 89032

I had so much fun visiting Mrs. Isham’s class in Las Vegas, Nevada! It was pretty hot outside!  Mrs. Isham said that summers here are very hot, over 100 degrees! I learned lots of neat things. During calendar time, I got to help the calendar specialist. We practiced math facts and skip-counting. Mrs. Isham has her students sing the addition facts to country music. That was really fun!  I sat with some of the students and read some great books.

Recess was so much fun. I watched as they played on the playground. The girls took me for a walk to show me what the rest of the playground looked like.  At this school they have recess first and then lunch.  For lunch today we had a choice between hamburgers and grilled cheese. I tasted a little bit of both. Yummy! The apple slices were the best!
     
In the afternoon, I went to music with the rest of the class. The music teacher enjoyed seeing me. She even held me on her lap. All the students wanted to hold me but I sat on top of the piano. I really liked when they sang the school song.

I got lots of hugs before the students went home. Mrs. Isham’s class got me a Nevada t-shirt and put a Las Vegas keychain on my collar. Now it’s off to my next stop-Arizona!! I hear it is hot there during the summer too. I am glad summer is almost over!

Mrs. Ballard's 2nd grade class
La Senita Elementary School
Kingman, AZ 86409

I was delivered to Mrs. Ballard's class right before the students were going to lunch.  Mrs. Ballard was worried that the kids would be so excited that they might spill lunch on me so I got to eat with the teachers...oh! The stories they tell! 

Usually after lunch Mrs. Ballard reads a chapter from The Magic Treehouse, but the kids were so excited to learn more about me that she read my story.  They loved it!  The class did some math problems and I got to help a few students who were not sure about how to do double digits.   I learned a lot watching them.

After math, the kids got to go out to recess.  Watching them get lots of exercise was fun.  Last year La Senita got new playground equipment so it was fairly new to the kids.  They showed me how to climb the rock wall and balance on the teeter totter.

After a while on the playground, we went in for science.  The students were learning about scientific tools.  I got to help them explore the science toolbox and name the instruments.  Science is Mrs. Ballard's favorite subject.

It was a Friday when I arrived in Arizona.  Mrs. Ballard owns some property near the Grand Canyon so she took me with her on Saturday before shipping me off to Utah!  I got to see Bedrock City where Fred, Barney, and all the gang live.  We didn't get to stay long, so I just got a picture of the roof sign.  Next time I am planning a visit to the Grand Canyon itself! 

I even got to see some prickly pear cactus and the prickly pear fruit in full bloom. Desert tortoises love this stuff as do deer and the elk that wander around the mountains near Kingman.  I didn't get to see any elk this time...next time for sure!  Prickly pear candy is yummy stuff!  Hey!  I bet my lei would have matched these flowers when they were in bloom.

Well, I'm off to Utah now...I can't wait.

Ollie enjoyed the sun and warmth of Arizona soon after school started. Kingman is located on the northwest border, 100 miles from Las Vegas, NV. We enjoy the Grand Canyon National Park being only 2 hours away. The ever popular Route 66 comes right through the city. Kingman was built on the copper mine and the railroad. Arizona was founded in 1880. Arizona became a state on Valentine's Day, 1912. The picture is of Lake Mohave which is fed by the Colorado River. The river and lakes around it are only a half hour from here. Our landscape varies from desert to forested mountains.

Mrs. Lee's 3rd grade class
Three Mile Creek Elementary School
Perry, UT 84302

I made it to Utah. I didn't realize Perry, Utah, was so far north. I was just a hop away from Idaho. It seemed like a long trip. Mrs. Morris, the secretary, told Mrs. Lee I was here and she came to the rescue. That box was getting stuffy! We went and had pictures taken with me and the class outside. We took pictures by the school's new soccer goals, by the flag, and the big sign that says "Three Mile Creek". I love taking pictures with new friends! I hope Mrs. Lee finds her card for her camera. Someone took out her card and didn't return it. So no card, no pictures . Hopefully it will turn up soon! Mrs. Lee was quite distraught about it.

The class likes centers and they all do a great job. It was fun, because in one of the centers I was able to participate. Someone put headphones on my head and was I able to listen to a cool story with a few of the students. Everyone wanted to hold me, so Mrs. Lee had to set a time limit on who got to hold me next. I went to lunch with one of the students and sat beside her on the bench. She took really good care of me. After a yummy lunch, a few girls led me outside for recess. I had so much fun and was hugged a lot too. I like hugs!

I found out that Thursdays are switches for the 3rd grade at Three Mile Creek. I got to meet three other 3rd grade teachers, Mr. Woodbury, Mrs. Zundel, and Mrs. Nielsen. We had a lot of fun. We had music, science, and social studies. I loved music, because I love to howl loud!

Later, we went to Mrs. Jensen for Computer lab. I helped a few students while I was there. Next stop was the library. Mrs. Hawkes was wonderful. She’s a great librarian. I had such a wonderful day with my new friends from Utah. I hope I am able to visit them again next year. Well, I better get packing! Moscow, Idaho here I come!!

Hi from Idaho!
I arrived on Monday afternoon (October 1) after the students went home. I was really sorry that I had to wait to see them! Boy were they surprised when they saw me waiting for them a day earlier than what Mrs. Vietmeier had told them!

After being hugged thoroughly we settled right down to do our morning seatwork. I helped students with their daily math, daily language, and even gave some students ideas about what to write in their journals! Then we went and visited the other 2nd grade classes and everyone signed my journal.

We went outside for recess and I sure loved playing on the slide and monkey bars! West Park is across the street from the University of Idaho-Go Vandals! Then I was taken into the office and met Mrs. Pierce, who I am told is the best secretary around and Mrs. Belles. I couldn't meet Mr. Marineau the principal because he was in a very important meeting! Well I am off to Montana. I hope I don't meet up with a grizzly bear!

Gildford, MT 59525

The kindergarteners at North Star School in Gildford, Montana were really excited to welcome me to their classroom. They were so happy that of all the schools in Montana, I had come to see them! Mrs. Lipp and the class took me to breakfast right away and introduced me to the rest of the school. Then we went back for show and tell and I got to check out lots of cool stuff that the kids had brought. I am a pretty good trumpet player!

Then I got to meet Sir “Health-Nut”, who is the mascot of the Fitness Challenge the students are doing at North Star this year. It is a really great program that teaches the kids and teachers to eat healthy, exercise, drink water, and get enough sleep! Their goal is to earn 85,000 points by being healthy, one week at a time! Good job, Knights!! I get plenty of sleep while I’m traveling but I could use a little more exercise.

The day went by quickly and soon it was time to say good bye. Since it was a Friday, Mrs. Lipp took me home so she could put me in the mail on Saturday morning. The streets in town aren’t paved and it had rained lots the day before. In these farming towns, rain is really important for the wheat crop but to me it just made good looking mud puddles. I wanted to get down and play but Mrs. Lipp said no. She did let me climb up on some of the big farm equipment they use to plant and harvest the wheat. It is sure fun to pretend I am a farm dog!

Casper, WY 82601

Whew! I arrived in Casper, Wyoming on Wednesday, October 10th, just in time to see the kindergarteners before they left for the day. We went outside for a picture with the class and I loved seeing Casper Mountain and the beautiful colors of the aspen trees. There are 34 children in this kindergarten class with two teachers, so I met many new friends.

I had a great time on Thursday doing math centers and reading. Sometimes the children get into an old bathtub to read and a couple of them invited me to join them. I really enjoyed center time--building with blocks, using the computers, finding letters in the sand table and reading in the loft. I had the best time in dramatic play, because they let me sit at the table for a pretend dinner. There were lots of animal friends for me to meet too—bears, Dr. Seuss characters, and many others. The children sang lots of songs and when they sang the goodbye song, they sang it just for me. There's a picture of them all waving goodbye!

It was a quick trip and now I am off to Colorado! I can't wait to see if I can see the mountains there, too.
Goodbye, Wyoming!

When I first arrived in CO, there seemed to be a purple craze everywhere I looked. Everyone was talking about the Rockies baseball team and they even gave me a cap to wear.

When I arrived at Green Gables Elementary, the Kindergarten kids were busy on the carpet doing printing practice with their student teacher. They were so excited to meet me and stopped to read my story… and then went quickly back to work. I was so impressed at how hard they were working.

My day went very fast as I watched them do all their learning. They were working in Science on a senses activity and they kids were feeling in socks to name different objects. That was so silly to watch.

Boy they sure loved my visit. The time went fast, but it was great to get a view of the CO mountains.
