Monday’s Word of the Day is Daylight Saving Time. Daylight Saving Time is turning the clock ahead as warmer weather approaches and back as it becomes colder again so people will have one more hour of daylight in the afternoon or evening during the warmer season of the year. 

Tuesday’s Did you know? Thursday is pi day. Not the pie we eat. Thursday’s date is 3-14. Pi is a number that is just a little bigger than 3.14. It is the number you get if you divide the circumference of any circle by its diameter. 

Wednesday’s Thought of the Day: “Do one act of kindness each day of the year, and change 365 lives.” Anthony Williams

Thursday’s random act of kindness goes to Sami Saeed from Ms. Younce’s class. Thank you for helping a friend out! 

Friday’s Joke of the Day:  Why did the student sit on a ladder in class? She wanted a higher education!

Since 2004, the State of Michigan has offered a free program to stop adult advertisements from reaching our children’s e-mail, mobile phones (text messaging), and instant messenger IDs. The Michigan Child Protection Registry, administered by Michigan’s Secretary of State, allows Michigan schools and families to protect their students from receiving advertisements from tobacco, gambling, pornography, alcohol and marijuana companies. Parents can register themselves and their children’s information by going to www.ProtectMiChild.com.

Monday’s Word of the Day…metaphor. Metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to compare 2 things that aren’t alike but do have something in common. Have you heard of ‘Don’t spill the beans?’…It means don’t share a secret. That is an example. Can you think of other examples? 

Tuesday’s Did you know? The phrase “A blessing in disguise” means good thing that seems bad at first.

Wednesday’s Thought of the Day: “Nothing you wear is more important than your smile.” 

Do you know what the phrase “it’s in the bag” means? It means you are certain. For example: “I’ll reach my goal. It’s in the bag.”

Thursday’s random act of kindness goes to…Mohamed Alawieh from Mrs. Patterson’s class. Mohamed collected the chairs from the gym after an assembly without anyone telling him. Thank you Mohamed!

Friday’s Joke of the Day: Why did the boy eat his homework? His teacher said it was a piece of cake!

Thank you to our State Representative Abdullah Hammoud for coming out to read to our students today. Mr. Hammoud is serving his second term in the Michigan House of Representatives. Mr. Hammoud proudly represents Dearborn, where he was born and raised.
