Guest speakers today, Josh and Ashley from Reach The World. They are part of a small crew circumnavigating the Earth in a sailboat called the Makulu 2. They do internet projects with our classroom and about 20 others throughout New York City. Since they left the boat in France and returned to the US to visit their families over the summer, the crewmembers are visiting classrooms this week before returning to their journey. They showed slides and gave a short presentation. The kids had all kinds of questions prepared in advance: Has visiting all these other countries changed you? What do you do if it's your birthday and you're on the boat? Which places do you like best? Where does your waste go when you flush the toilet on the boat? What do you eat on the boat? What happens when you don't speak the language of the place you are visiting?
