Dear New Hampshire LM_Netters: Jonathan Daniels Elementary School, in conjunction with the city of Keene, has come up with an activity related to the millenium that we feel may interest other teachers in the state. Judy Martin, one of our 2nd grade teachers, proposed that we challenge all of the schools in New Hampshire to join together and plant 2000 new trees during the month of May in the year 2000. She is excited about this opportunity to connect with other teachers in NH and also the opportunity to help the environment at the same time. We would supply the tree seedlings, if a commitment to plant was made by other schools in New Hampshire. The commitment would have to be made by November of 1999 and the trees would be available at the beginning of May, 2000. (We could mail the trees or they could be picked up at a distribution center near you. The logistics would be worked out after you've committed to the project.) This can turn into a diverse Internet project, especially if we can get people from all over the state to become involved and provide information on climate, where they are planting, soil conditions, etc. which we would then post on a website for all participants (or anyone) to view and connect with. We are planning on posting some integrated unit possibilities over the course of the school year on a webpage - which is as yet not created but we are working on it! If you are interested in participating in this project, or know of a teacher in your school who may be interested in accepting the challenge, please contact Judy Martin at jmartin@sau29.k12.nh.us or myself. You will be sent a list of the available seedlings along with some more concrete logistics. Also, please post this message in your school for all of the teachers to be aware of this challenge. Judy mentioned that she plans on planting around Arbor Day and that others could tie into that area of study as well. This is a very exciting event for us and if you are interested in joining us - please, have the people interested in participating email Judy or myself as quickly as possible.
