Children's Ezine Guardian Angel Kids: Weather - September 2012 Issue
Welcome to the GAK September 2012 issue all about the weather.
The weather often times sets our mood. Editor-in-chief, Donna McDine enjoys
a cool autumn day with the wonderful visual of the colorful leafs
immediately relaxes me. With summer rapidly coming to an end McDine is
looking forward to the next change of seasons. While she enjoys the so
called lazy days of summer, McDine embraces the opportunity for a regular
school schedule affording her the time to focus on her own writing, and
continued work at GAK and private client publicity work.
The GAK staff invites you to sit for a spell and enjoy the every changing
world of weather. Take a ride on a cloud and dance in the rain through
poetry, experience the apprehension of a thunderstorm and competition
amongst friends at the school science fair through engaging stories. Or look
through the fog and learn how it helps the giant redwood trees of California
grow and learn tornado safety tips.

Children's Ezine Guardian Angel Kids: The Human Body - March 2012 Issue
Welcome to the March 2012 issue of Guardian Angel Kids Ezine (GAK). This
month our theme for GAK is The Human Body.
Did you know that you lose 60 - 100 strands of hair every day? Or that
fingernails grow nearly four times faster than toenails? The distance around
the earth is 25,000 miles. If you measured the length of all of a child's
blood vessels, the total would be 60,000 miles. In an adult, it would be
100,000 miles or nearly four times the distance around the earth.
And that bothersome earwax that seems to build up so frequently? It protects
the delicate inner ear. Our bodies are indeed complex and amazing.
Come explore the world of "The Human Body" through featured books, poetry,
activities, engaging stories, and articles
