Dear Barbara,
Last week, when the Virginia Tech massacre occurred, I was on the road, and didn’t have the chance to comment on it. My heart goes out to the families, but it still
leaves me pretty much speechless. Your thoughts and comments welcome at:
http://barbarafeldman.com/virginia_tech_massacre_leaves_me_nearly_speechless.html
Moving on to happier topics, Jokes By Kids is now accepting video jokes! So, take out your video cameras or web cams, and tell us a funny one.

#2. AGLOCO’s Story is Simple
Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!
AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action. What’s the catch? No catch – no spyware, no pop-ups and no spam – membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information.
So do both of us a favor: Sign up for AGLOCO right now! If you use this link to sign up, I automatically get credit for referring you and helping to build AGLOCO.

Current Events Printable (** for premium members only)
https://www.surfnetkids.com/printables/files/printables-club/current_events.pdf
This week’s crop of news sites includes special editions just for elementary ages, as well as news sites that cater strictly to high school students. Whatever grade level you need, these sites are sure to spark conversations in the classroom and at the dinner table about what’s happening in the world today.
Channel One
http://www.channelone.com
The winner of several prestigious awards, Channel One has been broadcasting twelve-minute newscasts for teenagers into high schools and middle schools since 1990. Using video, news articles, quizzes, polls and games, the Channel One website is my pick of the day news site for teens. ChannelOne doesn’t shy away from the tough stories (such as the war on terrorism) but it also likes to have fun, with a Student Life section with celebrity (“Name that Star”) and life style (“Your Guide to the Prom”) coverage.
New York Times Learning Network
http://www.nytimes.com/learning/
With news, activities and lesson plans for grades three through high-school, the New York Times Learning Network really does have something for everyone. Best bets are the news summaries, daily news quiz, and the twice-monthly interactive crossword puzzle with educational Web links. But don’t even think about starting the puzzle until you’ve finished your homework; it’s very addictive. Other don’t-miss-them clicks are Word of the Day (with sample usage from the newspaper) and On this Day (with a snapshot of an historic New York Times front page.)
Online NewsHour: Extra for Students
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/extra/
From the PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Extra for Students is the place to visit for outstanding news features that take a deeper look at current events (including immigration reform and pet food safety.) To learn how other kids are reacting to the news, visit the Newz Crewz section where your comments are welcomed and posted. Teachers have a section all their own with lesson plans organized by curriculum.

#5. Note from a Subscriber
Dear Ms. Feldman,
Thank you for sending me all the jokes that I have from www.jokesbykids.com. I wrote down all of them and I am going to tell them the jokes. I have not heard any jokes from my friends but when I do I’ll get them for you. Our 4th grade class is going to a have a graduation ceremony because we are leaving school and I will see a lot of people so I can ask them if they would like any jokes of their own. You have created a marvalous website.
Sincerely,
Radiyyah Hussein
