It’s January 9. 
Today is “National Clean Off Your Desk Day.”  Describe your messiest teacher’s desk in your writer’s notebook?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   Our eyes are almost the same size from birth.  Our nose and ears, however, never stop growing.  Did you realize what a big-eyed baby you
probably were?  Do you ever wish your ears or nose would just stop?

 

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Those who do not trust enough should not be trusted.”  --Lao-Tzu (Chinese philosopher)

Vocabulary Word of the Day:  impecunious (adjective) – use this fancy word to describe someone who is poor.  What type of personality would use a fancy word like impecunious to describe someone else?

Fabulous Friday!!!
