Middle school students in Rye, New Hampshire, connected with kids halfway around the world after a miniature boat they launched more than a year ago washed ashore on a Norwegian island.
"I thought it had flipped over, or barnacles weighed it down," said sixth-grader Keira Hagen."The reality is, it's a big ocean, and lots of things can happen," she said.A mom halfway around the world saw the social media request for someone to retrieve it.
She used her cellphone to take video of her sixth-grader discovering the tattered, barnacle-covered boat not far from their backyard.And on Thursday, there was even more excitement. The students from Rye Junior High connected virtually with the kids who found their project about 8,000 miles away. The kids chatted about the boat, they also asked questions about Norway's culture, and then, even talked about Bruno.For Mrs. Adams, who retired last year, this is, without a doubt, the highlight of her 41-year-career.
"It is bittersweet," she said."This was the one missing piece of my retirement, and now, I can close that chapter.""I think it was really cool, because now, our little fifth-grade project that meant so much to us, now it means a lot to everyone else," said seventh grader Molly Flynn."It's just like, this little boat has changed our lives so much."
