"I think this project is really neat...My bear has been to a lot of places. I
know this from all of the mail I have gotten...My bear's been to Arizona, Hawaii,
Japan, Australia and a lot of other places. I love getting mail."
- Brittiney Johnson
"I like the project because you feel like you are at the places you probably will
never be. But your bear is. It is fun to hear from people you don't know at all."
- Todd Estes
"I'm kind of frustrated. My bear hasn't checked in yet. I hope he isn't hurt!
My dad gave him to a guy that lives in Japan. My dad's boss got in touch with him
and asked him to send him back. It will make me happy to see him again, then send
him on his way again."
- Kristi Spielvogle
"I really like the GeoBear Project. I think that it is a better way to learn
about the world and the people in it. The GeoBear Project is more fun, more
informative and more interesting than the usual textbooks, homework and dumb tests."
- Erin Donnett
"I've learned more about places around the world from the project. It's fun
to get mail, even though I haven't gotten any, it's still fun to see where other
people's bears have been. I recommend this project because it's fun, and you can
improve your map skills. It's sad for me because my bear hasn't checked in,
but I'm happy for others."
- Melissa Bauer
"When we first started this GeoBear Project I thought it would be really, really
boring. Instead, it is really fun!...Being in touch with other schools around the
world can also let us see what other classes and kids are like. To me this project
is an awesome idea."
- Audra Bloom
"I've learned that there are a lot of people out there who are really nice...It's
interesting how people are willing to do this. It's kin of like making peace."
- Justin Fisher
"My GeoBear has visited Oregon and I haven't heard from him since! But I hope he
will come home safe and sound! Now I know how my mom feels when I'm not home and
never call or write."
- Georgeanna Thibodeau
"It's cool thinking that we have been in touch with people all over the world.
The places and the people our bears have met are cool. If only we could switch
places with our bears."
-Jenny Blickensderfer
"I like hearing the GeoBear mail from all around the world. From the mail I learn
all different things about different countries. There are a lot of different
cultures and not everyone is the same...I have not heard from my bear. I wish that
I would hear from my bear so that I could find out where my bear has been and
what my bear has been doing while away from home."
- Emily Crist
"It's fun to get mail when our bears check in. Some get more mail than others
so they enjoy the project more. Then there's the occasional few that don't get
any mail. That's the only downside. The project was a great idea to use at
Willis."
- Crystal Colflesh
"I enjoy hearing about the GeoBear mail, but I want to hear from my bear. I have
never heard from my bear. I worry that my bear has been abducted by aliens or
destroyed by alien target practice."
- Andrew Linn
"My 'bear' started out and went to Europe. Since then I haven't heard a "bark"
(it's a dog) or anything. I've been hoping to hear from it, but no one sends
anything. I still have faith in him and one day he will come home...I like
how we've become good friends with Andy in Antarctica. Some people wouldn't do
what he did. He answered a lot of our questions and is just a plain out nice
guy. I'm glad we had contact with Andy."
- Bryan Holton
"I like the way this project is going. I'm learning a lot from it also. It's
nice when I get a postcard from a place I've never been."
-Josh D. Moore
"I'm wondering why the people who have my GeoBear haven't sent any postcards
or called or anything...Hopefully I'll have my GeoBear sent back to me with its
log full of cool stuff. "
- Monty Harris
"I like the GeoBear Project, because you learn about the places your bear, and
others, have been. I also like the pictures and postcards that you get from your
bear. I got pictures from Hawaii. I can't wait to hear from my bear again."
- Andrew Britton
"I think this project is great, because I feel this is what geography is about.
You learn a lot about cultures and places in the same period of time."
- Hong Nguyen
