Spring Break

           Yipeeee, Spring Break is here.  When were on break we will experience April Fools Day. Think today of the best April Fools joke you can remember.
The best one I did to my own kids was I made onion sandwiches. They opened them up at school and yelled YUK!!

Scared

                  Everyone has some kind of fear. Did you know that Christopher Columbus feared sea monsters and not that the world was flat. I have a fear of fire. I am very cautious of candles, fireplaces and being around fires of any kind.
What is your biggest fear?

What are you afraid of?

Did you know that Christopher Columbus was afraid of sea monsters? Columbus was not afraid that the world was flat, but he did have fear of the sea monsters.

My biggest fear is fire. We had a fire once in our house so now I am very very careful with candles and the fireplace. What is something your afraid will happen?

Welcome

      Hi Welcome to Literacy Lab! I am so glad you are here. Can you believe it's now 4th quarter?
On school days we all need more sleep. Many families have rules on bedtime when you are in school.
Does your family have rules when to go to bed on school nights? Do you stay up later on the weekends?

13

 Today is the 13th. Many people, who are superstitious feel this is an unlucky number. To other people it can be a favorite number. Today think of something superstitious that you fear. Black cats, broken mirrors, walk under a ladder.  What is your fear?

FEAR

Everyone has some kind of fear. Some people fear the water, basements, a cemetary, spiders,or people with bad tempers. Tell me a situation where you were really scared.
I was so scared once, at Great America, when a ride I was on broke down. I was totally terrified that the ride was going to collapse and be rocketed to the ground!
