Oh my god, that was my favorite book in fifth grade! Yeah, I did draw a map of the island. Make sure you include the rope-guides that Phillip used, as well as the birds' nests.\nI love that book. I'll read it over the weekend, I think.

You need to get ahold of the county building department that the school is going to be in to get an answer to this question. If they don't have it, then you need to go to the State Department of Education - Construction Division.

you should read these the book "Echoes of the Soul" by Echo Bodine. Some kids remember details from previous lives. Some of the stories and examples she relates will give you goose-bumps--I mean that in a good way! Another good book is 'Indigo Children" by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober. When one of my nephews was around four, he told my sister that he wanted 'to visit the people who lived on the farm across from the church' My sister was adament he had never been to anyplace like that, let alone visited people in that location...Unless you plan have more details as to the 'other family' i.e., name and location, you  would have to search every newspaper in the world. If you know an approximate location (in the US) I would try the state or local Historical Society...they may either a record of deaths (usually by county or parish) or have an index of local newspaper obituaries. Also, keep in mind, your previous life may not have been at all recent...

The first link below lists all Great Lakes shipwrecks and much of the data about the ship, cargo, crew and passengers, but no coordinates.\n\nThe second link is for the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum which is at the Whitefish Point Lighthouse where the Edmund Fitzgerald capsized in 1975. When we toured there a few summers back, the staff were quite helpful. Perhaps they could point you to where you could get the coordinates specifics that you seek.

Watch the television news together on occasion. Let the events on the news -- human interest stories, hurricanes, elections, and the peoples and circumstances of other countries -- become a basis for conversation. You might also watch documentaries about historical figures with your child; biography is a good basis for helping children learn about history. Such documentaries are becoming more common, especially on public television and certain cable networks. Documentary programs are also available on videocassette and can be checked out of libraries and rented from many video stores. \nChildren in intermediate grades will notice and ask about the problems that they see around them: homelessness drugs, and conflict. It is good to talk about these issues. Ask your child whether he or she is discussing such topics in school. Does your child have unanswered questions? \nLook at photographs together. Family pictures showing you and your child at different ages are a good choice. Ask, "What can you remember about these earlier times? What is different now?" You will find that your child will not tire of looking at pictures of family members. \nAsk your child about how we know the actual shape of North America, South America, and the other countries. This is a way to see what your child understands about mapmaking, and it also offers an opportunity to discuss and examine maps and satellite photos of the earth. \nUsing a map of the United States, discuss each region: its topography, its largest cities, its industries or economic activity, its population demographics, the historical events that happened there, and so on. You might start with a region where your family has lived in the past, or where a relative or friend lives, and then branch out into other regions. \nHave your child place various events into chronological order. Try the following events: the voyages of Christopher Columbus, the Mayflower Compact, the establishment of Jamestown Colony by the British, the Norse exploration of North America, and the development of Native American societies.

I posted a link below that will give you some information on Sea Monkeys. I know they are a lot smaller than you expect at first anyway. Neat thing for kids to do.

The children played outside while the weather was still pleasant.\n\nBelow are resources which offer help with English as a Second Language.
