Where in the World is
Owney?
 Owney
was a traveling dog, a scraggly mutt, who loved to ride
the United States mail trains back in the early 1900s.
He supervised the men and mail. No train ever had an
accident when he was on board.
Our
very own puppy will be replicating some of the travels
of the original "Owney" as we travel across the United
States and the world to learn about the 5 strands of
Geography. We will also be participating with Ms.
Stamp's kindergarten class with their pup Ollie visiting
our school. We can't wait for Ollie to arrive and visit
Lexington, Kentucky. We are making plans for his
arrival.
Check out Ollie below: find our state and classroom |

he collected on his travels across the United States and
the World.
