I. Feature Article:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Lets face it: over the summer, students miss us (and their parents miss
us, too). As I write, my daughter, a soon-to-be first grader, is writing
a letter to her teacher, illustrating that fact.
What sorts of activities would you have liked your students' parents to
have done with them over the summer? How many do you really think have?
Summer is such a crazy time, and it's easy to get offtrack, so that even
the best parents can't keep up.

II. ColumbusQuest
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ColumbusQuest is 9/30 - 11/1. Join the adventure today!
On the 510th anniversary of Columbus' voyage, your class can join our
team of experts as we journey on ColumbusQuest, our fall 2002 adventure
from The Quest Channel. Together your class and the Quest team will
follow Christopher Columbus' sea route through the Bahamas to Cuba.
Students will help the team solve one of the great mysteries in the
history of exploration: Where did Columbus first set foot in the New
World? Classes nationwide will direct the team in their efforts and
cover core curriculum standards--all in real-time.
