I asked my class what they thought snowflakes would wear if they could play dress-up. Here's the magic of the internet. Kids can communicate with kids from different classrooms, cities, states, and countries. This is more than communicating with kids who merely live in different geographical areas. It is getting to experience curriculums that are being taught in different schools.
Kids respond well to stories written by other kids.
My kids took to this one like magic. They could relate much better to Michael's little story than to anything I had presented to them in quite a while. They knew just what to do and they didn't need any encouragement to be creative. This is one of the many reasons I LOVE KidsRunning. It's almost magic.
