Wednesday Like a Friday

No School Tomorrow!!!  I have a song and dance that goes along with this and would perform it on request.......if I felt better.  :-)  Headed to the doctor after school today to get shots in an effort to just feel better!!  I HATE feeling sick and crappy!  I'm unfortunately going to miss the town clean-up today after school.  I feel bad about that.  :(  Okc stock show is still going on.  I've heard some of our kids have done really well.  I will try to have a list next week.  The 7th grade took Spelling test #26, graded spelling wb, and graded vocab. wb. today.  We will grade BA assignment on Monday.  The 8th grade were given "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" novels and assigned to read Chapt. 1 by Monday.  This is the only book we will read and do for creative book reports this last 9wks period. 

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day.  So here is some fun trivia for all the green leprechauns out there.

• St. Patrick's Day is an Irish holiday celebrated all around the globe to honor the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick.
• Saint Patrick is traditionally thought to have lived between 432-461 A.D.
• Saint Patrick is credited with converting the nobles; Saint Patrick is also credited with bringing written word to Ireland through the promotion of the study of the Bible.
• It is believed that Saint Patrick died on March 17 in the year 461 AD, which explains why we celebrate on that date in honor of this holy man.
• The harp is the symbol of Ireland. The color green is also commonly associated with Ireland, also known as “the Emerald Isle.”
• 34 million Americans have Irish ancestry.
• One traditional icon of the day is the shamrock. This stems from an Irish tale that tells how Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity.

AND SO, WITH THESE THOUGHTS IN MIND, MAY THE LUCK OF THE IRISH BE WITH YE TODAY AND EVERYDAY!!!!
