Easter On the Net! Easter is the time of springtime festivals, a time to welcome back the Tulips, the Crocuses and the Daffodils. A time for Christians to celebrate the life and resurrection of Christ. And a time of chocolate bunnies, marshmallow chicks, and colored eggs! We've got Easter stories, animations to watch, and pictures to color!
Passover On the Net! A time of family gatherings and lavish meals called Seders, the story of Passover is retold through the reading of the Haggadah. With its special foods, songs, and customs, the Seder is the focal point of the Passover celebration. We've got stories of Moses and the exodus, we've got matzohs to find, songs to sing*, and matzoh brie to make! Enjoy! **You can now see our past "Sites of the Week" live on

Ask Judi!This week's input comes from Donna & Luann regarding last week's topic, Online Collaborative Projects: From Donna: "This is for Terry (& everyone else) who wrote in asking about Internet Projects. You might want to pass on my PowerPoint called Getting Engaged with Online Projects. " From Luann: "I am looking for classes around the globe to participate in an online collaborative project called Terrifically Tall Tales. Participants will be asked to read tall tale stories and then do activities around them such as write a poem, design a book cover, create their own tall tale, and so on. If anyone is interested please visit our website for more information." http://www.manning.k12.ia.us/Elementary/teachers/talltales/index.html Thanks for your input! Good Luck! Each week, I'll use this area to answer your questions, post announcements, and provide interesting input! So please email me at EduHoundWeekly@eduhound.com and watch for your answer here!
