Watch the symbolic exchange of St. Johns River water from Jacksonville, Florida with water from the Nile River.

Mrs. McKnight’s class has just watched the video of the water exchange. Malachy says it was a very creative thing to do. Nick would like to know if the water is cold. Sara wants to know if you have gone swimming in the Nile. Catherine wants to know how you are going to smuggle the water into this country. Olivia wants to know about the sand from Jax beach. Maggie is curious to know if the call to prayer in the morning is waking you up. I know these are many questions all at once, but we are all very excited about everything you are doing. Answer when or if you are able. Goodbye for now! Love, Mrs. McKnight’s class.
hello Mrs. McKnight’s class
Thank you Malachy for your kind words. The water of the Nile is warm, Nick. We did not go swimming in the Nile. Sara, have you ever been swimming in the St. Johns river? Catherine, we are not smuggling the water. We pack the container normal with all our other things in the suitcase. Olivia, check the video we uploaded, when we did the sand exchange at the pyramids. Maggie, so far the prayers have only woken us up once, when our boat was docked right next to a mosque.
Keep those questions coming.

You two are having too much fun. I’m glad you didn’t fall out of the boat Lori. Have you found a school for us to exchange fitness tests? See you soon. Scott
How touching your water exchange ceremony was. I can’t wait to play it for my students when we’re back in school. You thought of such unique things to make this experience meaningful for all of us. Thank you so much!
