Back to the Future!

Time Capsules
Check out our newest addition, Dear Toni by Cyndi Sand-Eveland. Follow the main character, Gene, as she writes a journal to be put in a time capsule that will be hidden for 40 years! With spring just around the corner, the ground will soon be thawing and this means you can start scouting for the perfect spot to hide your very own time capsule... not necessarily for 40 years, of course...

Visit the websites below to find out how to get started on your own time capsule! Most of the information will be accessible to children in grades 5-8 so why not start a public or home school project?
