A message from Australia

The Eagles have landed!

Our class mailed two travel buddy eagles to our friends in Australia. They will spend the school year down under, with students there recording their adventures in journals. We received an early morning email announcing their arrival at the home of teacher, Mrs. Eleison.

Dear Mrs Arnett and students,

We have arrived safely in Australia.  We are very happy to be out of our box.  The trip was very long.  We will let you know about our fun adventures with our new friends.

Thinking of you all,

Uncle Sam and Craig
