From the Classroom... This week's story was send in by Adrienne, in Illinois: I have been student teaching this semester in a kindergarten class. One day I was teaching the kids about taking care of their teeth. I asked them what could happen if you ate too much sugar. One girl blurted out, "You get really wild!" WE NEED YOUR STORIES!

The kids were so excited to hear his letter! He says it is very hot there. It also rains a lot, so they have a lot of flash floods. I hope the weather where you are is treating you better than that!
