IMAGINATIVE KIDS INVITED TO ENTER TOYchallenge 2006 – SIGN
UP DEADLINE IS JANUARY 6TH
Sally Ride Science Presents Fourth Annual Engineering
Design Competition
San Diego (December 14, 2005) - Sally Ride Science™
announced today that the TOYchallenge™ sign up deadline
has been extended to January 6, 2006. Toys are a great way
to learn about science, engineering and the design
process. Sally Ride Science is giving students in grades
five through eight the chance to step out of their
classrooms and develop their engineering and design skills
by creating their dream toy for the fourth annual
TOYchallenge.
The mission of this fun-fueled toy- and game-design
competition is to motivate kids, especially girls, to get
involved in engineering design and recognize that there's
engineering in everything.
“TOYchallenge provides kids with a really fun way to
explore the principles of science and engineering, they’ll
also learn valuable lessons in problem solving and team
work along the way,” said Sally Ride, founder of Sally
Ride Science. “It is a great tool for keeping middle
school-age children, especially girls, in the ‘technical
pipeline.’”
TOYchallenge 2006 launched on September 12, 2005. Creative
kids can easily join in the fun. The competition is open
to fifth through eighth graders in the U.S., its
territories, or possessions, and Canada during the Fall
2005/Spring 2006 school year. Team size can range from
three to six members, half of which must be girls. To get
started, teams must: find an adult coach (18 years of age,
or older) and sign up by January 6 (fee is $45 per team);
then choose from themed-toy categories like “Games for the
Family” or “Get out and Play” and start brainstorming.
Further TOYchallenge information is available at

Last year’s grand prizes included trips to Space Camp® and
the creation of personalized Hasbro figures in each team
member’s likeness. There will also be awards in each
category, and special awards for design, most educational,
engineering, originality and team spirit.

Atten: Teachers- A great English assignment or Art Project
for kids of all ages.
We have several support projects going and need assistance
from America's Kids.
Our first project is for US Marine Recruits in boot camp.
We have been asked to provide more kid support to them.
Messages and pictures are scanned and shown to recruits in
power points and kids messages are handed out to them.
They are very well received and appreciated. We need as
many as we can get year around. Valentines day is coming
up and a hard holiday on many of them. Themes include
America, Patriotic, Thank you, Hang tough, USMC, We love
the Military, etc. Please no violent looking creations.
Kids are encouraged to ask questions and send support. You
may address the letters to A US Marine Recruit. Store
bought valentines/cards are ok too. Homemade cards are
best. You may use kids first names only and age and stamp
each with school address if you would like to hear back.
Send creations (send in bulk and not individually) to:
Homefront Headquarters Po Box 307 Bryn Mawr CA 92318.
(please no glitter projects for recruits)
Get well cards- We send these to deployed hospitals and
ones here in the states. Get well recruit cards also
needed.
We also need support for Navy sailors, Soldiers deployed
around the world.
Homefront Headquarters seeks year around assistance from
the Kids of America.
Deadline: Valentines Feb 7. All others no deadline. We
accept year around.

Dear Friends,
I am organizing a Valentine's exchange that I know will be
lots of fun for students! Last years exchange was such as
bi hit that I decided to try again.
After reading the guidelines below if you are interested
please email me as soon as possible (final deadline will be
January 27th- I will email everyone the list of
participants and their mailing address). All ages, grades,
states and abilities are welcomed.
Please read the guidelines below :
1. Make sure you send a card to EACH classroom on the list.
2. The cards may be made by your class or ones you
purchase. I planning on letting each child in my class
design 5 cards any way they want so each of you will be
getting a unique card.
3. You may include a class picture or information about
your class or state if you wish (this is optional)
4. You may begin sending your cards as soon as they are
ready. Try to mail the 1st set ASAP so we can begin
receiving them. Please make sure you mail all your cards by
FEBRUARY 4th to give them time to arrive by Valentine's
day. If we have any overseas please mail these a little
earlier.
5. Start with the class under your name so everyone begins
to receive cards at the same time and the last person on
the list doesn't have to wait forever to get their cards
6. Another exchange I participated in suggested you cut
apart the actually list and glue the names on the
envelopes. This worked great for keeping up with who you
have sent to and saved a lot of time
If you are interested in joining please email me with your
name, school name and complete mailing address and your
email address.
If you have any questions/concerns/comments please email
me and let me know [email removed])
Thanks Renee ( 2nd grade-IL)

I'm looking for ideas to go along with the Olympics. I
don't have time for a whole unit but would like to
incorporate a few things in. I've thought about graphing
the medals the USA won.

I have a fifth grade class of 26 students in Florida that
would benefit greatly from pen pals. I am a new teacher this
year looking for some interest...See More
