Einstein World Traveler

**Updated Travel Plans (2025) We are so excited to see that our travel bug has moved over 78,000 miles. We are now updating our plans to include in our national parks unit. We request that our travel bug returns to any national park that is convenient to visit in the United States. We are currently learning about different types of rocks and will eventually move into life science. Thank you so much!

**Updated travel plans (2023): Our Geobug has been traveling for 2 years and sixth graders are now watching its progress. We would like our Geobug to travel out of the country. We are currently studying different governments and economies. Renamed as Einstein World Taveler.

Greetings from the Einstein's Classroom Friends!

Along with Einstein, we are learning American History in North American in our 5th grade classroom.  Please move our class Geobug as close as you can to the locations below. This is a very abbreviated list! We will be tracking the GPS settings and studying our history along the way! It would be great if Einstein could return to Fort Bend County in Texas by May.
