Spring Break is here! We definitely need it! Now, I know you all will be relaxing the first few days, but if boredom should set in……why not spend some time on our TCAP review site? Click on the TCAP Review link and you’ll have long list of online activities to help you get ready for TCAP. I have websites for nearly every TCAP objective, and the majority of these are fun, interactive sites that hardly feel like learning at all! Revisit some of our old favorites like Alien Juice Bar and EdHeads. Explore some of the ones we haven’t been to this year like EdHeads Weather and the optics activities from iknowthat.com! The Language and Math sections are loaded, too.

Questions this week:
- How long does it take a spacecraft to travel to Pluto? NASA launched the New Horizons Spacecraft in January, 2006 and is expected to reach Pluto in 2015….so 9 and 1/2 years! Learn more here.
- What happened to Passenger Pigeons? This one’s a long one, so here’s a link and here’s another link. Did you know Pigeon Forge and the Little Pigeon River get their names because of the abundance of Passenger Pigeons? Don’t confuse them with the Carrier Pigeon or Homing Pigeon which is a domestic pigeon that was trained to carry messages in WWII.
- How often are solar and lunar eclipses? Depending on where you live on the planet, the maximum solar eclipses per year is 4 and lunar is 3. Read these FAQ here.
Want to “one up” Mrs. Ewing? Research some of these questions on your own and educate our class!
More later this week! Enjoy your break!
