Hello Jan, IT ARRIVED!!!! Thank you. Jan, I think that Ken Edgett's k-12 Educational supplement should be listed.Ken talked about it I believe on LFM discuss. It is wonderful! Also he's picked up where MARSLINK left off. He has the Red Planet COnnection quarterly newsletter that is K-2, 3-5, or 6-8. It has activities and information on the solar system, red planet, and global surveyor. It is well done.

That was "way cool" as my kids say.Dr. Allen Treiman from Lunar Planetary Institute 3600 Bay Area Boulevard Houston, Texas 77058-1113. They have a publication called Exploring Mars:1996. Their URL for that publication is http://cass.jsc.nasa.gov/K12/exmars96.htmlIt is listed for grades 8 and up. It has activities also. LPI has a URL http://cass.jsc.nasa.gov.lpi.html There is a book for very young children called A TRIP TO MARS. It is delightful, EASY reading for like K-2. I can't remember the author right now, but I'll write it down at school tomorrow. Our kids loved it and we talked about what they would have to take with them on a trip to mars. It's cute, but also gets the kids thinking. Right now we're working on the Moon because we're going to have an Eclipse PArty at my school for our families, and we've invited Michael's staff and his class with their families. We will be attending the DPS Everyone teaches everyone learns workshop at the University of Arizona with Larry Lebofsky. This is a workshop with scientists and educators meeting for 1 1/2 days working on curriculum. This is Oct. 21-22. We're very excited about that! I guess that's about all for right now. Thanks again for the materials! We're anxious to get our first workshop over with! The first is always the worst. Did I tell you we've been invited the the National Teachers Training Institute at ASU to present in Nov. Isn't that cool? Talk with you soon.
