Hi, Patti Weeg of Kidlink asked me to forward the Kidlink announcement below about my "What Does My First Name Mean?" Project. I was very excited that the first participating class happened to be one from a Methodist school in Durban, South Africa and that the names belong to Zulu children! For example, one child's name is Zolani which means "shalom". Take a look at: http://www.edu-continuum.org/kidspace/start.cfm?HoldNode=11432&HoldNav=11431 Click on the arrow and the "go" button to see all 14 names. If you would like to participate in the project, please follow the instructions in the announcement below.
