It’s September 5. 
Today is National “Be Late for Something Day.”  Please don’t celebrate!  At least not in this class!

Trivial Fact of the Day:   It’s impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” --Mahatma Gandhi (Indian activist and humanitarian)
Vocabulary Word of the Day:  spurious (adjective) – this word describes something that is plausible (believable) but actually false.  Look at today’s trivial fact.  This was actually proven false by the Mythbusters, but it sounds true.  Can you think of any other trivial facts that might be spurious?

Block 1, 2, 3, & 4 -
               Sit anywhere because after class begins we will move into a seating chart. Today we are not going to have a journal. :0( We are going to take the BOY assessment. It is an assessment that is given to help me find out where your strengths and weaknesses are. Don't stress. It's not for a grade BUT I do expect you to show off how much you know. This might not take all class period so be sure to have your silent reading book.
