It’s April 15. 
Today is National “Take a Wild Guess Day.”  Do you have a hunch, speculation**, or an intuitive sense of how this day became a holiday?

Trivial Fact of the Day: Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to chew and digest a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Celery, raw/ Develops the jaw,/ But celery, stewed,/ Is more quietly chewed.” --Ogden Nash (American poet)
**Vocabulary Word of the Day:  speculate (verb) – this action word can mean two things: to reflect deeply on a subject or to make a guess based on reasoning but not necessarily solid evidence.  Did you speculate about anything yesterday?

Fantastic Friday!!!

Today all projects will be completed by the end of class and everyone will be ready to present on Monday and Tuesday. Don't forget the states and capitals quiz next Wednesday. Have a great weekend!
