Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Ran across this interesting site today (thanks to clickschooling Yahoo group). This site is for a worldwide campaign to name the new 7 wonders of the world. You can vote for your favorite of the 21 finalists. There are pictures, info, and some video clips available as they tour each site. Also info on he 7 wonders of the ancient world.
new 7 wonders
Be sure to go to the classroom resources for 1-page fact sheets on each of the finalists as well as the ancient 7.
Could easily be tied in to a world geography or history unit.
The winners will be announced on 07-07-07. pretty cool, I think.
