Good Morning Everyone!!
Quote of the day:
“There really is a lot of laughter in this world. Sometimes you have to work for it or you have to be open to it, but it’s here. This is a neat planet. Enjoy it.” – Erma Bombeck – Humor Columnist, Author
Joke of the Day:
Q: What’s black and white and blue all over?
A: – a frozen penguin.
Thought of the day : Look ahead
“You can’t turn back the clock. But you can wind it up again.” – Bonnie Prudden
Finish this sentence: “If only I hadn’t…” Most of us have regrets. In fact, you can’t undo things already done. You can’t take back words already said. You can’t turn back the clock on your life. But you can decide that today will be different. Regret is a waste of time and energy. Leave it behind. As Herbert Prochnow once said, “Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than look back.”
Today….don’t look back.
Question of the day :
The members of the Smith family call each other by nicknames. Mr. Smith is called Pop, Mrs. Smith is called Mom, Anna Smith is called Sis, and little Johnny Smith is called Bro. What characteristic do the nicknames for Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, and Anna Smith have in common that is not shared by Johnny Smith’s nickname?
Extra challenge:Once you’ve answered the question, think of real first names for Mr. and Mrs. Smith that have the same characteristic in common as their nicknames. (Hint: Anna’s name already has that characteristic.)
Yesterday’s answer :
G and P are the missing letters. Letters advance in steps of three, beginning at the top of the left column, going down, and then going up the right column.
STRATEGY: Look for a pattern
Word of the day:
ineffable (adj)
Indescribable, either because something cannot be expressed verbally, or because its description is limited by social or religious constraints.Walking out into the fresh spring air, Joey was overcome with an ineffable feeling of joy, an emotion impossible to describe in words.
Announcements:
Mrs. Bonnell will not be in today.
The gym will be in use all of this week. No one is allowed on the stage or in the gym. The Sisters of St. Francis are having a retreat and it needs to be absolutely quiet without interruptions. Thank you all for paying attention to this request.
Seniors: please remember to get your pictures in to the office for the slide show. Also please turn in your biographies and your ideas for flowers, motto, song, etc.
Reminder that there are study tables every morning beginning at 7:30 am and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons after school until 3:30 pm. Students who were unable to work during snow days are required to be at study tables to make up their time. Study tables are also for anyone who needs extra time to get ahead or if you need assistance for classes. Students who are falling behind in classes should use study tables to help get back on track. We want everyone to take advantage of this time.
