Friday is April 1, April Fools Day!!  Tell me about a trick from your past that was played on you or you played on someone on April Fools Day.  Then think of something creative that might be tried this year.  Don't get too carried away, be nice :)

It is offically Spring by the calendar.  Tell me what that means as far as the sun is concerned.  Why does spring come at a certain time on our calendar, and how is that date determined by where the sun is?  (hopefully that makes sense. I don't want to give you too many hints)

Also tell me about Easter.  How do we determine the date of Easter?  Why do we change it every year.  Try and find some history about Easter that will tell me more about this.

Leave a website or two so I can do some looking too.

I blame daylight savings time for the lateness of this post. 

Thursday is St. Patrick's Day!  What and who does the day celebrate?  Name some of the traditions that are attached to the holiday in this country and in Ireland.  Don't forget the website.

The Iditarod started Saturday.  Tell me what it is, where it is, how long it is, prizes, and anything else you can find on the Iditarod website that is interesting.  Find out and tell me who is in the lead, and look at some of the pictures on the website.  You have to pay to see many of the videos, but some are free.
