Two 8th grade English classes at Shiun Junior High School
in Takamatsu, Japan are looking for Elementary Students
(4th or 5th grade) to give gifts of Hand-Made picture
books of Japanese fairy tales.
There are two classes (25 students each) collaborating on
8 picture books in English with hand-drawn illustrations.
The students would very much like to give the finished
products to classes of children in the United States,
Australia, Canada, or Great Britain.
Ideally, we would like to recieve some home-made books in
return (of stories from your own country)... though the
students are not expecting anything in return (if we can
recieve them we'd like it to be a surprise!)
Elementary classes, Girl Scout troops, clubs, church
groups etc are all welcome to participate... but the
students, though 13 and 14 years old, are not confident in
their English abilities and would like to work with
younger students.
If you are interested, please reply with details about
your school or youth group!
Thank you very much.

The Mississippi State University Rocket Team and NAR
Section #695 want to announce the first MSU Space Cowboys
Middle School Launch Challenge (MSLC). It will be held
April 12, 2008 at Mississippi State University. The
winning team will win $1,000 School teams and other groups
(girl scouts, boy scouts, etc) from any state are welcome
and encouraged to participate.
The MSU Space Cowboys Middle School Launch Challenge is a
contest for middle school students (6-8th grades) to
design, build, test, and fly a rocket with a scientific
payload to 800 ft. AGL. Emphasis will also be placed on
two written papers that will be due in the course of the
contest. This contest is designed to introduce middle
school students to not only rocketry, but to aspects of
mission planning and teamwork coming together to achieve a
successful mission. Flight reviews, budgeting, scheduling,
logistics, teamwork, and safety are all important key
topics (in addition to the vehicle and its flight) that
will addressed in this competition.
The contest will be divided into two distinct sections:
the flight of the rocket and review papers. The review
papers are designed similar to what real NASA engineers
have to present prior to their launches. The papers for
this contest show insight that the team has gained in the
course of design and construction, and testing and
validation. Each paper will be 3-5 pages in length.
Feedback will be received from the Space Cowboys.
The flight itself will be graded by: whether or not the
team conducts themselves professionally, all safety
guidelines and rules followed, successful flight,
successful recovery, and altitude. Safety is paramount on
launch day. Unsafe rockets or rocketeers will not be
allowed to launch under any circumstances. The contest
launch will be conducted in accordance with the guidelines
set out by the National Association of Rocketry.
The top three winners of the contest will receive a cash
prize in the name of their school/organization. The total
purse for this contest is $1,350, with $1,000 going to the
winning school. There will also be other prizes handed out
on launch day.

The educators at the Institute for the Study of Knowledge
Management are launching an exciting international project
on teaching climate change this spring. We seek 4 seventh or
eighth science teachers in the US to join groups of teachers
participating from Chile, Italy, and Estonia and potentially
from Japan, Argentina and Georgia.
A core goal of this project is to study the use of Open
Educational Resources (OER) to make current science and
teaching practices freely available to teachers
internationally. ISKME's OER Commons project
([link removed].
Teachers will benefit from this project by using and
developing open educational resources and by participating
in an international exchange with educators in other
countries. Specifically, participating teachers will:
- receive a modest honorarium of $200
- gain new resources and current knowledge about global
climate change
- receive training on content creation, wiki use, web 2.0
social networking etc.
- participate in the international collection and analysis
of climate change data
- engage students in a dynamic project linked to students in
other countries
- gain visibility and recognition for their work
- be invited to attend the July 2008 iCommons Summit in
Sapporo, Japan at their own expense or through local
sponsorship.
Teachers will need regular access to the Internet and should
expect to:
- be an active part of the social network of teachers and
students engaged in this project
- devote a minimum of 3 to 5 class periods to this project
this spring
- monitor and contribute to the project wiki by posting and
revising class activities and student data
- use an online habitat observatory
- share lessons and educational resources with others
If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact
