Classroom cachers?

Posted: Sun Oct 12, 2008 8:27 am

Hello everyone!

Not only am I an avid cacher, but I also cache with the students in my classroom. After attending the great Fondy Fall Fest event yesterday, I had an idea - what about a classroom caching event? SO...does anyone know of other classrooms that cache? I am thinking of hosting something where all the classroom cachers could have a field trip to meet each other and potentially find a few caches. (Maybe Buboltz...) Anyway, PLEASE tell any teachers that cache with their classrooms (in the Green Bay / Appleton area) to please contact me so I can see how many people would be interested before I continue to persue this. (They can contact me at sweech@rocketmail.com)

THANKS!

You want to get together with Jim's class in Three Lakes... Smile

Quite a field trip that would be. Guess he will have to just stick with sending out a travel bug for the class to watch.

Thanks TE! If Jim wants to bring 'em down...we'll cache! Or, maybe we can find a half-way point? We've started a TB, unfortunately it's only in GB...since May...we're going to start a LOAD of them this year and see where they go.

If you have some TBs that you have ready to go by mid November we can get some out to Nevada & Utah. Just message me if interested

Thanks! I'll let you know, still need to order them, etc. so chances may be slim.

We'd be interested in looking at any geocaching / TB activities... Where & what grade level do you work?

Jim,

Thanks for the reply. I acutally saw some of your classes TBs last weekend when Sparse Grey Hackle gave them to my dad (refelo) to move along. My class only started one TB last year and it hasn't done much, but goal is to start a lot more this year.

I teach 7th & 8th grade At-Risk in Wrightstown. I only have about 12 students. I think it would be great if we could figure out a "Field Trip" day of caching...maybe in the spring?
