if you are taking a vacation from school. It keeps the reading
skills you learned fresh in your mind as you read whether you
are
aware of it or not. Please try some of these and give yourself
a
challenge!

Offers a live video glimpse into the daily life of an astronaut
on the International Space Station. Click on the "Live Space
Station Video" link. You may see one or more astronauts
floating
around or exercising, or you may see an empty cabin or exterior
shot of the station. The latter may be more interesting than
you
think, because there is a sunrise or a sunset every 45 minutes.
(The space station orbits Earth every 90 minutes, because it
travels at 17,500 mph.) -from The Washington Post 2-9-10
