It’s April 19. 
Today is “National Garlic Day.”  What’s the worst or best food—in your opinion—that uses a lot of garlic?

Trivial Fact of the Day:  Is the stink worth it? Garlic has been credited with extending human longevity, preventing certain cancers, lowering cholesterol levels, reversing high blood pressure, resisting the common cold and overcoming fatigue.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Vulgarity is the garlic in the salad of life.”--Cyril Connolly (British author and literary critic)

Vocabulary Word of the Day:  repugnant (adjective) – this descriptive word can be used in front of a noun that is extremely distasteful (like a food) or in conflict with one’s beliefs (like an idea).  Is garlic repugnant?

 

Busy, busy, busy!!! Finally, Friday but we can't slow down yet. After the blog, go back to my Netschool site and complete Text Detective #3. Check to see if there is a note on your journal. When finished, get a sticky note from me and follow the directions on the board. Sit back down and read. Next, Channel One News - Week in Review. Finally, review Tangled Lines & Good to the Bone.
