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: What is the name of the gas that plants absorb to stay alive?

Answer: Carbon dioxide.

Class: Willbanks

Note:  Through a process called photosynthesis, leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water and use the energy of the sun to convert this into chemical compounds such as sugars that feed plants.

Have a marvelous Monday everybody!

Today is Orange for Helpfulness.  Look around you today and see what you can do to help someone out!  Don’t forget you have 2 hands - 1 to help yourself and the other to help someone else out.

Did you know that kindness is contagious:

1)When someone helps us it gives us a high that makes us feel like we want to help someone else out to keep that feeling going.

2) When we see someone else being kind it makes us feel inspired to behave in the same way.

Have a terrific Tuesday everybody and remember it may not be easy but it will definitely be worth it!
