I am going to send for the Online Internet Safety Kit. We have filters installed, but it is better to be prepared as possible.
I would like to learn more about the recycling. Rangers
Recycling Rangers look cool
I just signed up with the International Fund for Animal Welfare, and I already have access to great resources. I look forward to learning more. Thank you!
the online safety information

I’ve tried to explain to our 5th graders the contribution Nelson Mandela made to the world. The book would give them the opportunity to read about him further. I also signed up for the online safety information.
I want students to be inspired by Nelson Mandela and his life’s work. I want them to discover the world around them, instead of focusing on themselves and their desires of the world.
The online safety thing is so cool! Already ordered it and got it, totally worth it! Thank you!
the online safety program looks great
Internet safety would be a great resource.
I would love for my kids to win this book/CD set. I like iy introduce my students to several multicultural topics.
Taking a walk on the wild side would be great for my teachers.
Would love my students to study, honor, and be inspired by Mandela.
This would be great for my class. I would love to win this! Thanks
I would be very interested in the Online Safety Education kit. I teach a unit on online media. I would love this book/cd set to use with my students. Mr. Mandela has always been one of my heroes.
I would love to win the Nelson Mandela book and CD set. He was such an inspiration I want my students to learn about his life and the person he was. He is a great role model for children to look up to.
I am interested in winning the book about Nelson Mandela for my classroom library.
The Online Safety Education kit is full of good materials. I ordered a copy of it a while ago, and it is quite good.
I am going to join the recycling rangers!
Nelson Mandela continues to inspire the young and old alike. The book and CD would be a very welcome gift to our home school!
