Project Description:
In this project, students are asked to do two things:

a specific number.
2. Solve other math challenges posted by participants in this project.
Student math challenges should:
1. contain no numbers.
2. use descriptions of the number to lead others to determine the number.
3. contain a clue that mentions something about the area where you live.
Your students may also send any other math challenges that they would like to

The number of the States in the United States of America
+ plus the strings of a Stradivarius.
- minus the number of people in a soccer field
x times the age of the football player Maradonna when he won the World Cup in
1986.
Can you solve it? :-)

Hi,
My name is Diana Yang. I am Ph. D. student in Washington State University. In
one of the classes I am taking this semester, I need to take part in an
computer-assisted language learning project in which ESL students are
participating. It can be an email exchange project (key-pal), an online ESL
class, or any ESL classes that teachers are using/integrating technology in
their lessons (e.g. making websites, using Word processing, using software,
students create projects by authoring tools, using internet and etc.). It can
be at any level (children or adults). The optimal projects for me will be the
ones that are currently/or will soon be launching so that I can participate
for about or more than 6 weeks.
If you know some of the teachers or schools who are currently or will soon be
launching some type of computer-assisted language learning project with ESL
students and would be willing to let me participate, please contact me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Diana

Subject: Elem: Greetings Request for 2nd gr teacher
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a "greetings" request from a 2nd grade teacher in my elementary
school. She is picking up on my World Cultures theme in the library (she's
in the classroom next to the library) and wants to place email greetings
from as many places on the globe as possible in the main hallway where we
have large maps of the continents.
She also hopes to correspond with another 2nd grade classroom - hopefully in
another country - or at least somewhat removed from the Pacific Northwest -
throughout the school year.
Greetings (please) to Mrs. Prather's 2nd grade class at Artondale Elementary
School in Gig Harbor, Washington. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks and welcome back.

From: "David P. Dillard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This website links to various meeting sessions held as part
of the research study conducted by the National Academy
regarding the protection of children from pornographic
material on the internet.
Tools and Strategies for Protecting Kids from Pornography
and Their Applicability to Other Inappropriate Internet Content
<http://www4.nationalacademies.org/cp.nsf/57b01c7b1b
6493c485256555005853cf/7db4e3dd3d2d
2204852568fd000b10ef?OpenDocument>
The most interesting feature of this website is that it provides
links to the meeting sessions of the commission that provide
no more than an agenda of the meeting or a notice that
"This meeting is closed in its entirety"
The content of the website makes one wonder what is the point
of providing this web page. Do citizens need to know what time
the meeting agendas provide a time for meeting participants to
break for lunch or dinner?
How will information like this:
Panel 2: Nongovernmental Perspectives
Rob Showers, Gammon & Grange
Beth Farber, Federal Public Defender
Robert Peters, National Obscenity Law Center, Morality in Media
Jon Katz, Marks & Katz, LLC
help the concerned citizen gain more in depth knowledge of
government plans, thinking and deliberations regarding the issues
this research program is considering?
