How You Can Learn From Geoboxing--Installment Two

As promised yesterday we wanted to share with you what we included in our Geo Box swap with a Louisiana family. Our box included:

• Frito's corm chips which are hard enough to come by in our city let alone the country.
• a bottle of maple syrup--nothing says Canadian then pure maple syrup dripping over hot pancakes aka flapjacks.
• two postcards depicting animals from Ontario
• freshly picked pinecones
• driftwood from the shore of Lake Superior
• rocks from Lake Superior
• two bits of Amethyst--our provincial official stone
• two pencils
• a moose pen--I am pretty sure they don't have moose in Louisiana
• maple candy
• a twig whistle
• birch bark--they used to make canoes out of that stuff! Amazing it's tough but I have a hard time imaging a whole canoe out of it.
• keychains
• stickers
• brochures
• information and printouts on Ontario
• A small book on animal tracks in Ontario
• a little viewfinder camera depicting the Parliament buildings, polar bears, the CN tower and a few other strictly Canadian things.

We had a fun time finding great things to add to our box. We look forward to doing another sometime and learning in a fun way about their neck of the woods in return. Thanks again to Jenny Morris for being the brains behind her great swap site for homeschooler's.
