Humphrey the Lost Whale

         Travel Buddy Project

We are hoping you enjoy visiting with Humphrey and learning about humpback whales…

      The first Humphrey spent several weeks in the San Francisco delta in 1985. Our school is in the same county and not too far from the actual scene.  A book was written about his adventures and it is included in our package.

      Again in 2007 A mother Humpback whale and a female calf came up the Sacramento River, staying for almost three weeks.

     We have included a neat Humpback whale (Humphrey), lesson plans for a whale unit (K-3), several other neat whale books, and an additional list of books and videos that can be found at your local library.

    All of the excitement can be accessed through the Humphrey web page for our travel buddy adventure. You can keep track of Humphrey, and guide your class with more information about whales. There is an extensive list of whale links to help you find other activities. Also included is a list of interactive Internet activities (web sites) about whales.

    A list of host classes (and hopefully a map) will be found on the web page so that you may anticipate how soon Humphrey will make it to your classroom.

    Each class will have Humphrey with them for about a month. This will give him enough time to get home before the end of the school year.

 We will keep everyone up to date on Humphrey and his adventures…
