Update from Ms. W.

One member of Theodore's team that has been hard at work recently is Ms. W. Ms. W. called her home school today, Nash Primary School, in Weymouth, Massachusetts. It was a great opportunity to share some of the major events that have happened here in Antarctica related to three key "W" words: Weather, Water, and Worms.
