Happy Earth Day!!

Practice this/that/these/those

Did you celebrate earth day today? What did you do?
When I was in elementary school in Colorado, we often planted trees and picked up litter on Earth Day.

What is litter?  Trash on the ground.   

Do you have a garden? Even when I lived in a small apartment, I had plants on the balcony. My family always grows some plants. Do you like to talk about saving the earth? Is pollution a bigger or smaller problem in your old country or in the USA? Do you have a big or a small carbon footprint?

Exclamations!

 Many people show strong emotion by using what or how with NO verb!  

It's very common to hear "What a beautiful day!" on a warm, sunny day like today!

Did you see anything that makes you want to say, "What a beautiful...." or "What a difficult" or "What an ugly..?"  What did you see?  What can you say with what?

 A sacrifice is giving up something valuable in order to get something better.  Chess players often sacrifice good pieces for a better position or to win a game. Parents often sacrifice for their children.

Do you know anyone with a cold, cold heart?  Describe that person.

Happy Easter!

Many people in the USA celebrate Easter today.

Non-Christians as well as Christians  celebrate Easter by dying hard-boiled eggs * or buying plastic eggs, putting candy in, and having an Easter Egg hunt.  When I was a child, adults usually hid the eggs.  A long time ago, kids had races and tried to roll uncooked eggs across a field without breaking them. One popular public Easter egg roll is usually at the White House.

*Easter eggs are often boiled for ten minutes.  Vinegar is often added to the water and to the dye cups.  Most people use food coloring or an egg dying kit.  I like to use icing dye in blue, red, and yellow.  My kids mixed the colors.

Easter is a holiday when Christians remember that Christ rose from the dead. 

Many churches usually start their service with this hymn:

Did you celebrate Easter?  Do you celebrate Resurrection Sunday?  How?
