For DECEMBER 1999, we have chosen a site which, although not
specifically a
homeschooling site, shares some very interesting insight into a
question
that children of all ages have asked for years: "Why is the Mona
Lisa
smiling?" An interesting set of pages put together as a collaborative
ThinkQuest project of John F. Kennedy High School students in
the Bronx New
York and their peers in Borlange, Sweden, to learn about
Leonardo DaVinci -
(For instance; did you know that he also wrote music?) This site
was created
for students, teachers and populations with special needs. We are
sure you
will enjoy your visit!"
