Columbus Day! No school on Monday!

Schools, government offices, banks, and libraries close for Columbus Day.  Restaurants and stores usually don't.  They are often crowded with people who don't have to work!  Sometimes, they offer good deals for Columbus Day.

Advertisements that may include Columbus Day bargains:

Potomac Mills Sales

Ideas for other things to do:
Washington Parent Kids' Calendar
Cox Farms is a fun place to take elementary school-aged children this time of year
(although it's expensive for me)(The fall festival is fun for children and families.  There are even activities that are good for toddlers.  Fields of Fear at night is scary and for teenagers or adults)

Do you want to practice your verbs?

Use present continuous (present progressive) tense when the action is happening NOW!

Use simple present to talk about facts, routines, and frequency.  Also use present tense when you use a stative verb.  Stative verbs often express possession, opinions, emotions, and senses.

Use simple Simple Past for one past action that is finished.

Are you having a good weekend?  Are you going to go shopping?
