It’s April 6. 
Today is “Tartan Day,” celebrating Scottish heritage.  What’s something interesting you already know about Scotland?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   Because some actors consider it bad luck to say the word “Macbeth” out loud, when they perform in this famous Shakespearean tragedy, they refer to it as “The Scottish Play” to avoid saying “Macbeth.”

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion**.”  --Alexander Graham Bell (Scottish-born/American inventor)
**Vocabulary Word of the Day:  accretion (noun) – this noun is a fancy word that stands for a type of growth (mental or physical) that happens slowly over a lengthy period of time.  What should and shouldn’t be grown/acquired through accretion?

Marvelous Monday Mustangs!!!

 

Today, we are going to start with silent reading. Then, STAAR strategies. Finally, work on Tagxedos.
