Today is the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin. I have a great way for you to celebrate!

Check out the Darwin Correspondence Project. This site has more than 5,000 of Darwin’s letters, including some from his childhood. Be sure to check out the one where he admits to only washing his feet once per month! (Okay, admittedly he was 12. Hopefully he outgrew that habit.)

Happy Birthday, Charlie!

Here is a video story about the sweet letter the Barbara and Jenna Bush wrote to Sasha and Malia Obama containing advice about living in the White House. Enjoy!
