Comments about our webpage on Children and Teens

Hi Edward!

i just wanted to let you know how I came across your page, http://www.nativetreesociety.org/childr ... ldrens.htm, while googling "gardening resources". I actually found your web page to be pretty useful! I've used some of your information towards my class lesson, I hope you don't mind. :)

Anyway, my students came across this web page, http://www.kremp.com/Butterfly-Flower-G ... ticles.htm, and thought it would be a great replacement link for "Teaching through Nature" under "General Activities and Comments" on your web page. :) That link's not working, just so you know. Would you mind adding it to your page?

Since you don't have any butterfly garden resources, my students really think the visitors of your page would find it fun and interesting. They would be so thrilled to see their link suggestion up on your page! :)

...and even more thrilled because they'd be getting a pizza party AND extra credit. You really see kids get motivated when extra credit is involved! ;)

Just a friendly suggestion..let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Donna Knowlten

Edward,

I just showed your page to my students and they are so excited! Thanks so much for taking the time to put their suggestion up. :) I'm so happy to confirm their extra credit and pizza party!

Cheers,
Donna Knowlten

Hello Donna,

We have a section on our BBS viewforum.php?f=24
where people can post comments or links to websites related to children and
Teens:  Nature Activities and Education.  Anyone is welcome to join our
community by signing up for a free account on the BBS.  If you have
suggestions of more stuff to include please email me or create an account
and post them yourself.

I added the suggested link on butterflies to this page on our BBS:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3095

and to this page on our website:
http://www.nativetreesociety.org/childr ... ldrens.htm

I actually made a separate post about the site that was suggested by your
students here:
viewtopic.php?f=144&t=3099

I went ahead and posted your letter here for other members to read.  I hope
you don't mind:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3098

The links should work correctly now.

Ed,

  What a splendid direction to go. You've done it again - put us out there doing the work of the trees. Wish you could make it to the ENTS gathering.
