This Week's Pictures from around the world... always riveting, memorable photographs, worthy of discussion
Today's Pictures: The Last 24 hrs in Pictures ... this was a (near) daily must read.... We would look at the picture and see if we could guess where in the world this was happening while we ate, slept, worked, read in the last 24 hours... then I'd read the caption, and we'd find the location on the globe. This was a phenomenal resource to give a global awareness of what is happening to real people in real places in real time -- today. We'd often stop and pray for the people photographed. If we want to be ourselves aware, and raise children who care about people, the world, I know of no better, *daily, real-time* resource.
Take Today's National Geographic Geobee Quiz ... always a highly anticipated challenge. We would also do the previous challenges, to review, and see if we could best our score. See how you rate against other explorers!

Today's Poem from Writer's Almanac -- one of my favorites, but I'm strange that way Poem a Day... may be more age/topic appropriate for youngers
Today's Creative Writing for sixty Seconds... we found this great fun! We'd take turns (sometimes a younger dictating story to Mama), and then read stranger's sixty second stories on the same word prompt. Great for dictation, creative thinking, (and fast typing!)
