A new contest is announced at http://www.metracontest.com/, and the 1st place prize (one for EACH grade level) is an HP laptop computer! How cool is that?!
...plus, if you're in art, I will give you extra credit in class just for submitting an entry. You need not win the laptop. The deadline isn't even until March 1, 2008 - so you have a long opportunity for extra credit here!
For details & submission form, visit http://www.metracontest.com/.

FAQ
Often, I get students asking me where I get stuff, such as my rubber ducky collection, stickers on the filing cabinet, or the plush creatures I show to 6th grade students. So I've decided to make a list of some of my favorite places to shop that you may not have known about:
Fly Bird is a neat store in downtown Oak Park where you can buy all sorts of fun things for your house. I've gotten a bunch of stickers there, too.
Rotofugi carries art toys and even plush made by former Sandburg art student Luisa Castellanos!
Kidrobot is one of my favorite places to buy fun and humorous art toys.
Pumpkin Moon is where is where I find most of my devil duckies...
Uncle Fun is another good source for rubber duckies, stickers, and of course, fun.
Where are your favorite places to shop? Let me know where and WHY to earn some extra credit!

Check out this short little stop-motion skeleton I made as an example for 8th grade art. (Hopefully the google video embed works - if not, go here)
