Extractions: Listen to this story via streaming audio , a downloadable file , or get help August 13, 2002: Scattered around our planet are hundreds of creatures that have been to the Moon and back again. None of them are human. They outnumber active astronauts 3:1. And most are missing. They're trees. "Moon Trees." NASA scientist Dave Williams has found 40 of them and he's looking for more. "They were just seeds when they left Earth in 1971 onboard Apollo 14," explains Williams. "Now they're fully grown. They look like ordinary treesbut they're special because they've been to the Moon." How they got there and back is a curious tale. It begins in 1953 when Stuart Roosa parachuted into an Oregon forest fire. He had just taken a summer job as a US Forest Service "smoke jumper," parachuting into wildfires in order to put them out. It was probably adventure that first attracted Roosa to the job, but he soon grew to love the forests, too. "My father had an affinity for the outdoors," recalls Air Force Lt. Col. Jack Roosa, Stuart's son. "He often reminisced about the tall Ponderosa pine trees from his smoke jumping days."

Newbigging resident Glen Head (13) sent the Labour leader a card for his 50th in 2003 after learning that they shared the same birthday. Little did he expect that Mr Blair, touched by the gesture and Glens triumph over illness, would reply with a card and personal note never mind remember him almost two years later. Mr Blair remarked, It was really good of you to drop me a line for my birthday, when the pair, born on May 6, were brought together by the Evening Telegraph at the St Andrews Bay Hotel last night. The occasion was a meeting between Mr Blair and Tele readers for a question-and-answer session.

Botswana Pen Pal Program Revolving around a pen pal program developed by Ms. Hake in San Diego, Ca.and Julie Garrett, They included pictures of themselves and families. http://edweb.sdsu.edu/courses/EDTEC596/Project1/BotswanaPenPal.html
Extractions: This unit was developed by Debra Hake and Julie Garrett and delivered to 26 6th graders at O'Farrell Community School this school year. The unit significantly involved social studies, language arts, and to a lesser extent math and environmental science. Revolving around a pen pal program developed by Ms. Hake in San Diego, Ca. and Julie Garrett, a Peace Corps volunteer in Botswana, Africa, students in San Diego ranging from 11 to 12 years old, wrote to students in Botswana, Africa ranging from 12-15 years old. These letters introduce students to different cultures for social studies, writing and reading skills in language arts, the metric system in math, and environmental science for science. Originated over the summer, Ms. Garrett contacted a school in Botswana, Africa, while doing her Peace Corps work on a game reserve in Gabarone. Because the school year in Botswana begins in January, the first letters were written by students in San Diego. The return letters were received in February. The writing and reading of letters were done in a half hour projects time with the same group of 26 children. All from the same homebase. The letters are an on-going year long project, dragged out by the international mail system. Introduction to Botswana through geography and discussion.
