Monday, January 14, 2002		Kids chat

Welcome friends! It's Monday again and we back together for some interesting chat. How was your last week?

Cliparti: Hi friends! Oh my last week was good as I spent most of the time indoors as the winters is in full bloom and the days are short. So by the time I finish my homework, its dark outside and also cold and so I hardly go out now. What about you Windy?

Windy: Yeah! You are right Cliparti, the winter chill is at its peak but that's a good opportunity also, as we get more time to spend on the computers and the Internet and thus we learn more.

Fluppy: Right said buddy. For me it does not matter much as I play a lot of games on the computer.

Windy: That's very much expected from you Fluppy.

Cliparti: So, What's new you have discovered during this week for our friends, Windy?

Windy: Well there are a lots of things that I have discovered during this week but its mostly related to studies.

Fluppy: Huh!

Cliparti: Hey Fluppy! Why do studies turn you off? After all after so many holidays now is the season for studies only.

Fluppy: Yeah! True.

Windy: There is a site called www.startribune.com/education/homework.shtml. It's a cool site on studies and covers the topics like English and literature, world languages, social studies, study tips, elementary school topics, science, math etc. Moreover there are news quizzes on this site also to keep you updated with the latest in the world.

And Yeah! There is something for you too Fluppy.

Fluppy: For me… must be another boring homework site having some boring topics.

Windy: For a change it's fun and games section of this site. The URL is www.startribune.com/fungames. This is also an interesting section as here you can play crosswords, read comics, play fantasy football, hockey, basketball shootout, take part in caption contest, headbone zone, fishing trivia etc.

So, its basically a quite happening site and has something for all.

Cliparti: That's a good search Windy!

Windy: It's a huge site Cliparti, as each and every channel of this site specially the homework site has huge resources under it.

Cliparti: That's great Windy. Have you checked these Yahoo! clubs, which are interactive and provide chance to interact with others. I have found one such club and it is http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/ineedmathhelp. This is a good club and you can join it to interact with other persons regarding problems related to math. Also you can read problems of others and can also help other persons by solving their problems.

Fluppy: That's a good idea, Cliparti.

Windy: Ha! Ha! Ha! Look who is saying that? Dear Fluppy! Do you remember the last time you flunked in Maths? How do you plan to solve other's problems?

Cliparti: Hey Windy! At least he can take the help of others for getting his problems solved.

Windy: Hey another thing, computers are still not allowed in exams, where you can log in and take the help of others. So, you need not be too happy either.

Fluppy: When you have made a public announcement between our friends that I flunked in math last year. There is one more thing to make clear. I flunked after reading your notes only. Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha…

Cliparti: I guess you have got into another fight now, so better would be to change the topic. This one is for the common interest of all our readers. If you also like to play games like Fluppy, then you can log on to the site http://games.yahoo.com. This is a Mecca of game lovers as there are numerous games listed, which you can play online with the people online and also with your friends. You can invite your friends to join you in the game and thus you can have real fun online. So, enjoy yourself this week and study hard and before Windy and Fluppy resume their dialogue, I would rather sign off for now.
