                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 1, 2001

  Mr. MORAN of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of Jane Temoshok for her successful completion of the 
NOAA/NSF Teacher at Sea program.
  As a resident of Alexandria, Ms. Temoshok has made everyone in the 
Eighth District proud of her achievement as one of two teachers 
nationwide to be chosen for this program. Ms. Temoshok, a science 
teacher at Lyles-Crouch Elementary in Alexandria, left on October 2nd 
from Huatutelco, Mexico flying aboard the NSF C-130, a research plane, 
heading for the Galapagos Islands. There she joined the EPIC Research 
Cruise to Arica, Chile aboard the vessel the RON BROWN. She returned to 
Washington, DC on October 27th.
  Ms. Temoshok's purpose during her voyage revolved around interviewing 
scientists and interpreting their research in a way that can be 
understood by students. From her findings she constructed lesson plans 
for her pupils. Ms. Temoshok continued to instruct her students during 
the trip via the Internet, posting daily photos, journal writings and a 
questions and answers forum.
  The NOAA/NSF Teacher at Sea program has afforded Ms. Temoshok an 
unparalled opportunity to provide her students with a hands on 
education, grounded in her unique experience. The lessons learned on 
the NSF C-130 and the RON BROWN will stay with Ms. Temoshok for the 
rest of her teaching career, acting as an inspiration from which she 
will always be able to draw strength and creativity.
