Who says Physics has to be scary? Physics is the branch of science that studies flying, launching, moving, and floating. It also studies magnets, motors and electrical circuits. Did I mention that heat, light, and sound are also physics topics? Physics is fun! Check out this article from Babble Dabble Do that has 80 experiments that you can do at home that relate to Physics. Your scientist will love them! Have a great weekend! ~Mrs. Stella

Ramadan is a holy month of fasting, introspection and prayer for Muslims. During Ramadan, Muslims do not eat or drink from dawn to sunset, they break their daily fasts by sharing meals with family and friends. The end of Ramadan is celebrated with a three-day festival known as Eid al-Fitr.

(You can exchange Ramadan greetings by saying “Ramadan Kareem,” which translates into “Have a generous Ramadan,” or “Ramadan Mubarak,” which roughly translates into “Happy Ramadan.” )

In April 2022, President Biden officially recognized the month of April as National Arab American Heritage Month with a special commemorative letter. The month celebrates the Arab American heritage and culture and pays tribute to the contributions of Arab Americans and Arabic-speaking Americans.

Passover, also called Pesach, is a major Jewish holiday that celebrates freedom and justice. Passover is celebrated with two traditional meals called seders, on the first two nights of the holiday. Seder translates to "order" in Hebrew, because there is a ritual order of the prayers read and the foods eaten.

Passover dates are April 5-13*
