Have a great summer!
-It's been an excellent year. I've really enjoyed working with all the creative, diligent, kind-hearted, smart kids in this group. I'll miss seeing you all every day! Please email me a schedule of your baseball and soccer games (mbonner@taoscharterschool.org), and I'll come see them if I can.
Over the summer, keep your skills sharp and get ready for Mr. Jones' class by continuing the D.E.A.R. habit of reading for at least 20 minutes every day. Practice and build your math skills using links like Math Playground and IXL.
-Solar Eclipse: Be sure to get outside on Sunday evening May 20th to see the annular solar eclipse - the first one visible in North America since 1994! It will begin at 6:28 p.m. and last until sunset, with the maximum peak of the eclipse going from about 7:30 to 7:40 p.m. A partial eclipse will be visible in Taos, but if you ask your parents to drive you a little bit south, it will be worth the trip. Albuquerque is right on the main path of the eclipse, so the closer you get to ABQ, the better it will look (see the NM eclipse map and NASA video in the links). Get to a place that has a good, clear view of the western horizon. Remember, NEVER look directly at a solar eclipse - you could permanently damage your eyes doing that. Instead, use a pinhole projector like I demonstrated in class on Wednesday. Shade 14 welding goggles may be another option if you can find some.
