*Tascheferdoc: from California to Canada (2TM8)

 Hello!
We are third cycle primary school students from Bellefeuille school, Taschereau’s wing, in Abitibi, Quebec, Canada. We are 17 students, between the age of 10 to 13. Our teacher is Mrs. Marilou.
We are sending 4 “Travelbugs” around the world. We are competing against 9 other classes in a race. Our goal is to try to receive back our Travelbugs before the other classes. Please, could you help us to send them forward as quick as possible so they could be back home sooner.
Thank you very much for helping.

Bonjour!
Nous sommes des élèves du 3^e cycle du primaire de l’école Bellefeuille, pavillon Taschereau en Abitibi, Québec, Canada.  Nous sommes 17 élèves âgés entre 10 et 13 ans.  Notre enseignante est Madame Marilou.
 Nous avons envoyé 4 « travelbugs » autour du monde.  Nous sommes 9 classes qui font une course à travers le monde.  Notre but est d’essayer de revoir nos travelbugs à notre école avant les autres classes.  S’il vous plaît, aidez-nous à faire bouger nos TB pour qu’ils reviennent vers le Canada le plus rapidement possible. 
 
Merci pour votre aide!

The details about this travel but will be competed by the class it belongs to.  It was sent by mail to the country written in its name and its mission is to come back home in the region of Abitibi-Temiscamingue, in the province of Quebec, Canada.  It is part of a race among 40 travel bugs belonging to 10 classes.  During this project the kids should learn a lot about the different places visited by their bugs.  Please don’t hesitate to write details in your logs and to add pictures.  The kids are learning English as a second language and reading you will be a good exercise for them. You can follow the race at http://course.nordtic.net . The website is in French but we have an English section.

This one is called “Tascheferdoc”. It’s a mix between the names of 3 small surrounding towns. “Tasche” for “Taschereau”,  “Fer” for “Laferté” and finally, “Doc” for “Languedoc”.

Nous avons appelé notre travelbug "Tascheferdoc" car ça représente un mélange des 3 villages que regroupe notre école.  Tasche pour Taschereau, Fer pour Laferté et Doc pour Languedoc.
