Drawing of Madeline (Original Artwork)

Drawing of Madeline on a Wheaties Box (Original Artwork)

                        My name is Madeline. I am in the 6th grade at Public School 56. You must be wondering why it looks like I have green teeth.  Well, there is a simple answer, BRACES! I change the color every month, so expect me with blue teeth next month.  Last year I did a ThinkQuest Junior website called "Yo, It's Time For Braces". Check it out at:

            This year when I started Think Quest Junior in September, I had been interested in the subject of counterfeits and art rights because once I was a victim of art pirates myself.  If you want to know more, go to my essay on counterfeiting. I know how it feels to be ripped off!  I know a lot of kids who have felt the same way. Counterfeiters target kids for only one reason. We are gullible. We see something we like and we empty our wallets. I hope you write to our guest book about your own experiences with art thieves and pirates...........

Drawing of Kim (Original Artwork)
           Hi, my name is Kimberly, but my friends call me Kim.  I am a 5th grader at Public School 56. Like Madeline,  I have braces too.  I just got back from Space Camp near Cape Canaveral in Florida in February. If you like to hang upside down I suggest you go too! I'm on a softball and basketball team. They're called CYO Teams.  I like reading science fiction and mysteries. I thought it was cool to make a website. So here it is!!!!

Drawing of Katie (Original Artwork)    My name is Katie and I am a well educated, deaf child.  I especially enjoy sports, such as baseball, basketball, kickball, dodge ball and hockey.  I love to write and I love to draw.  I love to play computer games like Starcraft, Tomb Raiders, Snood and much more.  I am also a Nintendo and gameboy freak and I just love the NY Mets and their star catcher, Mike Piazza.  I collect baseball cards, Pokemon cards, beanie babies, and stamps.  I love my life.
