Thanks, Jack. I am familiar with the contest via various blogs and have shared it with my teachers. We are an elementary school and although I don't think you will get many (any) entries from us we do use it as a great learning source.

Thanks, Jack. I loved both your websites. I think Brainypics would also be great for using with younger students for teaching vocabulary.
