Adventure

I read an article in the Los Angeles Times today. It was about a kid who will be sailing around the world. He will begin his journey right here in Southern California. Below is a link to his website and his blog. We can talk to him before his trip and once he leaves. If he is successful, he will be the youngest person to sail around the world solo.

The Giver

Learn about this man with an incredible memory! His memory capacity is similar to that of 'The Giver' in our current novel.

Show me the Money!

In honor of the 'Show me the Money' topic CD I have given you the link to a real live counterfeit bust that my husband, Greg and his colleagues at the United States Secret Service did. It's pretty cool that they made it on the news.

Busted!

Read this article! It is about the mom who pretended to be a teenager and managed to drive a teenage girl to suicide. I know that we are done with our technology workshop, I thought that you'd still find this intersting.
