Labor Weekend!

-
Hello Everyone! How was your long weekend? Did you do anything fun? Did you play something? I did not write for the last couple of days because of Labor Day? Well, what does Labor day mean? Let's break it apart. 

Labor means doing handwork, something that does not work by a machine.
(ex. of labor work- gardening, cleaning, building, etc.)
(ex. of NOT labor work- hardware engineer, software engineer, doctors, etc.)

Day means a period of 24 hours of time.
(ex. of day- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.)- these are different names

Now, I am going to put it together. Labor Day

Does Labor Day mean a day of labor? 

Answer: You are partially correct. Labor Day means a day for the achievements of American workers. It happens at the first Monday of September. This year (2020) happened yesterday on September 7, 2020!

Hello Everyone! I have started reading this book called Wonder in my fifth grade class! I am enjoying it! It is about this boy named August who has done a lot of surgeries (from what I remember I think 27) since he is born. He is an ordinary kid, except for his face. I am so excited to read this book!    ~Aarushi Gupta   5th Grade
