We have a Spirit Week this week to celebrate the end of the marking period and Spring Break:

Today is - Disney Character

Tues - Multiples Day

Wed - Soccer Moms vs Football Dads Day

Thurs - Luau Day

Friday is a half day, our read in and also the school wide assembly - Pajama Day

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: Which planet has a day that lasts almost 8 months on earth?

Answer: Venus

Class: Latz

Note: The Earth rotates about its axis once every 24 hours. It takes Venus longer to rotate once on its axis than to complete one orbit of the Sun. That's 243 Earth days to rotate once – the longest rotation of any planet in the Solar System – and only 224.7 Earth days to complete an orbit of the Sun.

Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
