The mathreading gram incorporates fun proskill-buildin- g games as part of the learning process. Leavitt, a sixth grade teacher, serves as both teacher and tutor to the youth as she helps them understand mathematical fundamentals by engaging them in nontraditional math lessons.

Due to the small group sizes, children are given lots of instruction. The reading activities involve reading stories and group discussions about the characters, plot and meaning derived from the stories.

That might explain why some 1 ,000 people gathered in Denver this month for the 22nd annual Rocky Mountain Barbie convention. Barbie, in case theres one person reading this who is not familiar with her bio, was born 42 years ago as the first doll with sex appeal, thanks to impossibly long legs, tiny waist, big blue eyes and golden hair. At the Barbie gathering, collectors traded the many incarnations of Barbie while some indulged in a petite form of bodybuilding, thanks to a class on mixing and matching Barbie body parts. The only way to get affordable vintage Barbies is to piece them together," collector Mike Fox told The Denver Post.
