Logbooks provide a snapshot of your traveler’s location and can be a valuable tool for documenting essential facts. You can request multiple entries of this type, even if your traveler is not traveling from place-to-place.
Logbooks have three sections; Nature, Travel, and Our News. Each section features a series of thought-provoking questions. Within each category, travelers offer two- to three sentence answers accompanied by three captivating photos.
Logbook topics support core curricular topics, including everyday math, vocabulary expansion, and K-W-L activities. Logbooks help students understand the basics of the traveler’s journey, which sets the stage for deeper inquiry through Field Notes and Journals.

Introduction to Field Notes
Travelers narrate their experience and encounters with transportation, tradition, nature and more in the Field Notes section. These topic-specific stories are filled with descriptive details and memorable anecdotes.
There are eight Field Note types: Daily Life, Kids, Food, Transportation, Nature, Traditions, Environment and Communities. Each Field Note has a fixed template comprised of inquiry questions that frame the traveler’s narrative. You can use these inquiry questions in your instruction, too!
These questions in these Field Notes all drive your travelers writing to address our three essential questions:
1.How can I make the travelers’ journey my journey?
2.How am I connected to my world?
