Daddio: 5/12/10 Blog of the Day

Recently, there was a big oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico that has become a huge environmental disaster.  I want you to read about it at Time for Kids (make sure you click the link at the bottom to go to the next page of the article).  For today's blog of the day post, I want you write about one of the following aspects of the disaster: (1) how it occurred; (2) what's being done to stop it and clean up the oil slick; or (3) the effect this will have on the environment.
