I'm looking for three, preferably 4th grade, classrooms
throughout California who would be interested in hosting a
Traveling Mascot for one month during the 2009-2010 school
year. I would like one classroom from the desert region,
mountain region, and valley region (which I already have a
class) to help students gain a better understanding of each
of the regions in California.

The bulldog would spend one month in your region of
California. Your class would be responsible for writing in
his journal, collecting souvenirs such as travel brochures,
and providing as much information about your region as
possible to help us better understand the wonderful state in
which we live in.

As the teacher, your duties would include shipping
our Travel Buddy to his next location as well as
posting photographs/journal entries on our user-friendly
wiki page during the mascot's visit. The wiki page will be
updated regularly giving your classrooms the opportunity to
learn about the other regions and track the bulldog's travel
as well.

When the bulldog arrives, he will hcome with postcards and
other pieces of information about the Coastal region, his
journal, and a small gift for each of your students.

This is a very exciting project for the kids and all those
involved need your 100% commitment. The project would start
in September in my class which is in Anaheim, CA (A Coastal
Region) and then move throughout the year to a different region.

I'd love to have this set up before school starts in
September. Please PM me with any questions. I hope
you'll join us.
