Sounds wonderful, Gary. My oldest grandchild is only three and I am just
introducing her to Kid Pix, but can't wait to get to Microworlds!!!

     This list has been pretty quiet lately.  So just by way of discussion =
I will tell you about a fun little project I am starting.  I have two =
grandchildren (well actually I have 9, but only two old enough for this =
project) who are 5 and 8.  I sent them Microworlds last week and they now =
have it installed.  Today I sent them an e-mail telling them about their =
new pet turtle and how it knows tricks if you know turtle talk.  I told =
them how to use fd and home.  They are supposed to e-mail me back with a =
response and I will send them another command or two. =20
     I don't know how far this will go, or how I will handle getting them =
to use what they know creatively etc. down the road.  But it should be a =
fun experiment.  If I come across interesting experiences I will share =
them.  Perhaps thee are other folks out there who would like to try =
something like this with children they are connected to.

Thanks for letting me know the forum works, Gary!! I
had hoped to get tome suggestions for presenting MW in
a Montessori environment, but not one peep! Still
summer I guess!

I will look forward to more on your progress with your
grand kids!

Lauren
