Answer acronym:
Can children bring cold cucumbers back after class? 9Better cry before answering because bees buzz angily!

I can add this note now that my kids have all taken this quiz:
Not one of them asked what the sentence labeled "Answer acronym" meant.
No one noticed it contained the answer key! I was laughing on the inside because I remember a high school science teacher who was famous for "hiding" answer keys in plain sight. This reminds me of the quote,

"About 5% of the people in the world can't pay attention.
Another 5% can pay attention and do.
The remaining 90% can pay attention but don't."

This "Answer acronym" was included to help my readers (and me) check our answers. I typed in the number 9 to help me keep track of where I was as I graded the quizzes.
I found this quizz at a website page called: Bible Quizzes
If you use it, be aware of the fact that it is a Protestant site. Be sure to review the information before using it in lessons.

Snowflakes

Let's make Some Paper Snowflakes!


But first, read about the Snowflake Man, Wilson Bentley. From the earliest memories of our childhood, many of us can remember hearing the phrase "no two snowflakes are alike". This discovery was made in the small rural town of Jericho, Vermont by Wilson A. Bentley (1865-1931).


His snowflake images are gorgeous!

In The Big Book of Catholic Customs and Traditions for Children's Faith Formation
(a liturgical craft books for young children) I read that snowflakes were once called "St. Agnes flowers."
Today, January 21, is St Agnes' Feast Day!

MR. TOAD and TICKETY TOCK Week 02 Mr. Toad This is a very faithful audio rendition of the probably NOT so faithful (but exceedingly charming) Disney animated film version of Kenneth Graham's "The Wind and the Willows". The recording features most of the original cast including the wonderfully "fruity" (as very accurately described on the Weekly Recordings 2006 Message Board by member "Crispin"), Eric Blore as eccentric Mr. Toad and J. Pat O' Malley (a familiar character actor with an appearance like Alfred Hitchcock that has been seen and heard in hundreds of cartoons, movies and television shows), as Cyril the horse. Their performance of "No Where In Particular" has always been one of my favorites of the more obscure numbers in the Disney musical stable. The story is told quickly and adeptly though, curiously, sometimes in rhyming verse and other times not. The "action" is nicely realized, orchestrally, by the VERY facile Billy May and the story comes to a satisfying conclusion with the requisite (in children's programming), but vague moral about learning something, as Toad did. I also would like to note that the album art on this particular recording is made up of excellent 4 color illustrations of key moments in the story, very nicely rendered by the Disney studio for this recording. All in all a very nice package of a great little story, sure to appeal to adults as well as kiddies. Tickety Tock One of the great, simple little children's records, "Tickity Tock, The Clock That Couldn't Tell Time" is extremely well cast and produced. It is really a shame that the cover art on this offering does not live up to it's aural counterpart. I recognized a couple of familiar, unaccredited voices. Grandfather Clock and Farmer appear to be Pinto Colvig (Goofy, Bozo, Grumpy, etc) and then, of course, the Quintessential Arthur Q. Bryan (Elmer Fudd) as Tickity Tock. The story by Ted Pierce and Warren Foster is very cute and is augmented by a nice Billy May score. Looks like a lot of big people in the animation industry at that time did moonlighting for the Kiddie Records industry. Lucky for us, and in this case for "Tickity Tock", they did.
