Dear Harold: Can lunch time be learning time?
Author: Hippo Herald07.31.2007
Dear Herald:
With 3 growing boys, it seems like all we ever do is eat! It’s either breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks. Do you have any fun ways that I can make meal time into an educational time?
Sincerely,
Hungry in Houston
Dear Hungry:
What a great question! Here is a fun one that I just added to the KnowMore Site. It’s called Moon Munchies- check it out!
Sincerely,
Herald

The other day I gave you some tips on staying safe, but apparently my lack of sleep has gotten the better of me. I forgot to mention one of my favorite sites! The site is called KidMail.net and I have been using it for several years now with my students.
They have a free trial, so you can test it out, but I am almost positive that you will think it’s as cool as I do. The design is very kid-friendly, and you can set up an "approved" sender list, so that you can be sure that your kid is only talking to Grandma and Aunt Patty.
So head on over and check it out- and shoot me an email and tell me what you think!
