Later, I saw the tweet from the Exploratorium's twitter account about Rye. Curious, I went back. It's such a great opportunity for Robin Ellwood's students to be able to participate in projects that are related to research in the polar regions. It's encouraging to know teachers, researchers and organizations make efforts to connect students with real projects and research. Thank you! We (7th grade students and I) learned about you, Jean, Dr. Ainley and the penguin research through Robin Ellwood's journal entries. We were not sure she was going to see a penguin on this trip, but she got to do more than see them! We didn't expect to learn about penguins on this trip, so we were pleased Robin was able to visit your lab and travel to the colony. Since then, we have been keeping an eye on twitter and reading the posts. Our school is currently on break and I've been exploring the penguinscience.com website. I'm impressed with the work you've done on the website. My students will be exploring it after break! Thank you for all your work you do and for allowing us to follow along!
