I agree that this story is heartwarming. I love the generosity of the woman and the honesty of the homeless man. Do you think that either of these people are heroes? Why or why not?

I was amazed that LEGOS have been delighting children for 55 years. Why do you think that this basic, simple toy has stood the test of time (been around for so long)? Use your schema as you think about this question!!

I know many of you have seen this book in our library at school! What do you think the story of Owen and Mzee shows us? Do you have a special friend? What makes this person special?

I am not trying this! I think I'll stick to skiing on solid ground. How about all of you? Would you give this a try? Why might someone want to do an extreme sport such as water skiing, rock climbing, zip-lining, etc.?

Cute, cute, cute! I think Eddie is adorable. I would want him on my basketball team. Notice when the number of sea otters was greatly reduced and that they are still endangered today. What important lesson does this teach us about the nature around us?

OK, my class of engineers, you know why I included this article! What problems does the water fountain billboard solve?

Mariska is one smart horse! She reminded me of Houdini! Why do you think she "breezes" past her mother's stall, but not others?

I posted this for all of you future inventors! Notice, some were students doing class projects. Which of the three alarms would you most like to be awakened by? Tell why!

So many animals are injured (like the dolphin in this story) or even die from the actions of humans. While it upsets all of us, sometimes we feel like we can't do anything about it. Think of a way that you could make a difference?

I had to include this as just this week, you all were telling me about Minecraft since I had never heard of it. Imagine how surprised I was to see that it is what kids are doing as part of their school work in Sweden. Do you think we should include this in our schools in the United States? Why? What would your parents think? Share!!!!
