Although Maurice Sendak's 1963 children's book "Where the Wild Things Are" consists of only ten sentences, it has been a phenomenal international hit, selling over 19 million copies as of last year. Now that it's been adapted into a hit movie by director Spike Jonze, media attention is once again shining on Mr. Sendak, his artwork and this wonderful children's story.

The Pilgrims were a English Separatist congregation that emigrated to Holland in 1608 to escape religious persecution. Twelve years later, discouraged by economic conditions, the congregation voted to move again, this time to America. A small ship, the Speedwell, carried them to Southampton, England, where they joined another group of Separatists and finally departed from Plymouth, England aboard the Mayflower in 1620.

Native American Villages
Native American Villages
The Third graders at Francis Parker School in San Diego, CA have been studying Native American tribes throughout North America. Each class studied different tribes. Groups of students selected a tribe they wanted to research. Each person in the group was responsible for a different part of tribal life.Library resources and the internet were used to write a rough draft. The final copy was written, and a sketch of the village was drawn. Then each group built their village based on their research.
All the third grade classes visited each others villages while members of the group explained the tribes' everyday life. The parents also came to see the villages the classes had worked on together.
