"When I was a kid my parents got this six-LP set of science-themed folk songs for my sister and me. They were produced in the late 1950s / early 1960s by Hy Zaret and Lou Singer......The Singing Science lyrics were very Atomic Age, while the tunes were generally riffs on popular or genre music of the time......In February 1998 I found the LPs in my parents' basement. I cleaned them up, played them one last time on an old turntable, and burned them onto a set of three CD-R discs. In December 1999 I read the songs back off the CDs and encoded them into MP3, so now you can hear them on the web. They are available at either 32 Kbps (about half a megabyte each) or 160 Kbps (about two megabytes each). The higher-quality MP3 versions were encoded by Ron Hipschman........"

Kids love animals, and that affection can be used to increase interest and enthusiasm for science, math and language arts. May 7-13, 2006 is National Pet Week and is a wonderful opportunity to jump-start your students for the end of the school year.
To celebrate National Pet Week, with educators in mind, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has developed materials, contests, and games that help educators enthusiastically engage their students. A complete listing is available at www.petweek.org/educators/educators.html.
>>>>>>>>" I created this website for people to follow the Tour de France. Could you send this info to the other bloggers. I am trying to get the word out. Thanks.Ildiko
Every year our family enjoys following two great races: The Iditarod and The Tour de France. The Iditarod is a the last great Dog Sled race run in Alaska in March. The Tour is a month long bike race through France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg which takes place in July. I have been working on a website to help my fellow teachers get on board. You can go to http://tinyurl.com/o2bgn
This website is still in the works but it should give you a pretty good idea of all the educational opportunities in following the Tour. I would love to have your input and if you are able to join us there is a link to sign up for the Tour yahoo group. The website also has information about the bikes, the teams, literature selections, history and tourism information on the coutries the bikers will travel in, and will include some lesson ideas.
PS. If you want more information about following the Iditarod you can go to this great website. I have done this for the last three years. It is great fun! http://surfaquarium.com/eIDITAROD/index.htm "

Our e-Newsletters give you wonderful, informative information about homeschooling, news bits, contests and PRIZES for homeschoolers, articles to encourage you, calls for writers, free unit studies and lesson plans, and just a lot of FUN.
