At times, you will be asked to “pause” the video to think through an idea or “pause” the video to work through the problem to arrive at your next step or solution.

smart fact

On this day in 1846 first printed copies of “Poems” by Emily, Charlotte and Anne Brontë, were  published under pseudonyms (pen name) of Acton, Currer and Ellis Bell. Women often had to write using a man’s name because it wasn’t considered proper for a woman to be working in the world of literature. Even the wildly popular Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling was asked to NOT use her name, Joanne Rowling, but instead her initials to attract more male readers. Check out this website to learn about J.K. Rowling’s other pen name and books that she published using that name.

MATH- CONVERTING MILLILITERS AND LITERS

Have some fun with this and create your cards virtually with a friend. That way you can help each other with the definitions and give each other ideas for the drawings. Then you can hold up a card to the camera have your partner find the other two matches! Think about these as flash cards and enjoy playing with friends practicing your Puzzling Vocabulary.

smart Fact

On this day in 1891 Music Hall (Carnegie Hall) opened in New York, Tchaikovsky was the guest conductor. Tchaikovsky was the first Russian composer whose music made a lasting impression internationally, which he bolstered with appearances as a guest conductor later in his career in Europe and the United States. One of these appearances was at the inaugural concert of Carnegie Hall in New York City in 1891. Disney’ movie, The Nutcracker and The Four Realms is a great way to enjoy Tchaikovsky’s famous score.
