MARS Bound!

Hi Everyone!  

Hopefully some of you are still checking the Blog.  I've been out of touch for a bit because my home computer has been "sick."  In fact, I didn't have it for over a week as it was getting "better" at the computer hospital.  It's working, but it's not the greatest.  It's pretty old and I really need to get a new one.  I've bought a few other things for my house recently, so a computer will have to wait a little longer.

I don't know about you, but summer is FLYING by! How are we into the third week in July already?  Have you started shopping for school yet?  I think I started seeing "Back to School" stuff in the stores in June!  Now that's just WRONG!  

Anyway, I found out (courtesy of Bill Nye's Facebook page) that we, meaning NASA, has something very exciting going on.  It seems that a space craft will be landing on Mars on August 5!  Check out this link.  It shows several scientists and engineers talking about this historic event.  It also shows how they believe the rover will land and has some excellent artistic interpretations of what it might look it.  Here's the link:

You might have to copy and paste this into your browser.  If you Google "August 5 on Mars," a bunch of links will pop up.  Take some time and check it out.  

NICE job on the OAAs!  I've seen general scores and am SO INCREDIBLY proud of all of you! Our team's scores in reading and science were AWESOME!  Yes, I've earned the right to brag about you guys to the up and coming group... NICE JOB!!!

Now that I have my computer back, I will be posting the end of the year slide show.  Sorry it's taken me so long!  

Well, it's time to get rolling.  Hope you all are doing great.....miss you guys!!
