Thank you so much for the email! Isn't this area a beautiful place in which to live...especially when it's sunny?!

I was delighted to find this (the Kids Invent!) web site, as it will cut my planning time considerably. I teach at a small but wonderful Christian school in Gig Harbor. Once a month we have what I have called a "Friday Fun Challenge", where I give all the students (from grades 1 to grade 5) a creative problem. We discuss the criteria, or the scientific principles of which they need to be aware, and then they try to solve the problem. They usually work in mixed age groups, and I can tell you they absolutely love these days. We've done all sorts of exciting things, but I've either built the ideas myself, or grabbed something from a gifted curriculum and expanded it. It's a lot of work! It is worth it, though, and is so exciting to see how they have grown in their ability to solve, think and create - and work together!

So truly, THANK YOU. You know I will be using these activities: in fact, my family tried out your 'straw flutes' last night at a restaurant, and had us laughing so hard we cried. We really needed that laughter too!

Have a great day!
