Let’s get after the March is Reading Month reading challenge.  Competition is hot already.

And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:

Question: In the tv show ‘The Golden Girls’ there were 4 main characters.  What is the name of the character played by Betty White?

Answer: Rose.

Class: Belill

Note: Rose, Blanche, Dorothy and Sophia lived together in Miami in the now hipster classic tv show which aired from 1985 to 1992.  The theme song, “Thank you for being a friend” is a total ear worm and did you know that The Golden Girls merchandise ranges from Prayer candles to hot sauce, granny panties and Chia pets of the ladies heads.

Have a marvelous Monday everybody!

Let’s start a new weekly ritual.  Ms. Holley’s Healthy Habits: We’re going to start with FOCUS!  I’m a big fan of multi-tasking but there are times where multitasking is actually the WORST thing that you can do.  If you find that something is harder than it should be, try focusing on doing that 1 thing and that alone.  If your attention wanders…rein it in like a nervous chihuahua at the dog park!
