From the Desk of Judi!

This week's topic is:

ECLIPSES

Eclipses occur when the Sun, Earth and Moon line up. In a solar eclipse the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun. In a lunar eclipse the Moon moves into Earth's shadow.

There will be a total lunar eclipse on May 15-16 2003 from about 9PM - 2AM EDT -

Ask Judi!

This week's question comes from Marvin A. Goetz, President, Florida Alliance of Substitute Teachers:

"I would like to call your attention to May 5-9, 2003. This is Substitute Teacher recognition week throughout the United States. Perhaps you could present something about this event and give encouragement to those men and women that make up the substitute teachers, who serve every day in every school."

Certainly, Marvin

Note: Teacher Appreciation Week is from May 4-10, 2003. Each May, Teacher Appreciation Week offers the opportunity for citizens to reaffirm their commitment to parent-teacher partnerships. Visit the National PTA site for information at http://www.pta.org/parentinvolvement/teacher/index.asp

Here are some sites to get you started:

Good Luck!
