Visiting Jamestown Archaearium
In preparation for the 400th anniversary of the settlement of Jamestown in 1607, long-term archaeological digs have been underway for the last decade or more. A new museum containing the results of the excavations opened in May.

I finally battled the crowds to see the new museum on Sunday. It is well worth a visit to Jamestown.

Creative Kids
I often meet readers who are also writers. There is a magazine that publishes writing by kids. It is called Creative Kids, The Magazine By Kids, For Kids 8-14. You can find how to get a subscription to the magazine at:

However, most children's sections in your local library will have copies of the magazine. Take a look at an issue and see if this might be a place to publish your writing.

One of my readers, Michelle, send me the above drawing of her feelings about Virginia's Standards of Learning Tests. A picture is worth a thousand words!
