To: KIDPROJ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Don't forget to sign up for the Hunt for Famous Explorers! Since some schools were probably on spring break, I have extended the deadline to April 14. I have only four schools registered. We would like to have more participants. For registration information, go to http://www.edu-continuum.org/kidspace/start.cfm?HoldNode=4255 Hurry! Project Description: Who are the people that traveled into unknown places and discovered some of the landmarks or founded the cities that became capitals? Some of these explorers may have blazed the way for others that came later and founded the cities or built the landmarks. In this project you will make 9 clues about Famous Explorers and challenge other classes to identify your explorer. You will also use the clues sent by other participants to discover their famous explorers. ************************************************************* Educational CyberPlayGround A learning site that celebrates diversity in students' background while highlighting the variety in students' preferred approaches to learning.
