TODAY IN HISTORY:
- On this day in 1980, a famous notebook by Leonardo da Vinci was sold at auction for more than 5 million dollars, making headlines around the world. The notebook was filled with Leonardo’s sketches, inventions, and notes written in his mirror-script handwriting (handwriting that only looks normal when viewed in a mirror). The ideas that filled the notebook showed how curious and inventive he was. People were amazed that a centuries-old book of drawings could still feel so modern and inspiring, and the sale reminded everyone how valuable creativity and careful observation can be. Today, the notebook is celebrated not just for its price but for the brilliant mind that created it.
DAILY JOKE:
- Here’s a joke to brighten your morning. Today’s joke was submitted by Nolan R:
- How do you know if there’s a polar bear in your refrigerator?
- The door won't close!
- If you have a joke you’d like to include in the announcements or a school appropriate song for the TV playlist, please send it to Ms. Darden on Schoology.
HAVE A GREAT, SAFE WEEKEND!
