NATIONAL SCRABBLE DAY

National Scrabble Day is observed annually on April 13th.

Originally named Lexiko and then Criss-Cross Words, Alfred

Mosher Butts eventually settled on the name Scrabble. The

amateur artist and unemployed architect developed the word

game in the midst of the depression. Still, it wasn’t until 1948, a

final name change and a trademark that Butts finally began to

produce the game.

Scrabble is played with two to four players who score points by

forming words from individual lettered tiles on a game board

marked with a 15 x 15 grid.

In the United States, the name Scrabble is a trademark of

Hasbro, Inc. Scrabble is sold in 121 countries with 29 different

language versions. Worldwide, over One hundred and fifty

million sets have been sold with sets being found in nearly one-

third of American homes.

1984 – Scrabble became a daytime game show on NBC

2004 – Scrabble was inducted into the National Toy Hall of

Fame

Some cities sponsor Scrabble tournaments on the weekend

closest to National Scrabble Day

The word “scrabble” means to “grope frantically.”

HOW TO OBSERVE

Call your friends and play a game or two of Scrabble! Use

#NationalScrabbleDay to post on social media. ASTER, RABBITT, TAXES,

COLORED EGGS,

SHOWERS, FLOWERS,

FOOL’S DAY, UMBRELLA,

GALOSHES, BUTTERFLIES

GRILLED CHEESE DAY

Grilled Cheese Day is on April 12, 2018. Jay and Victor like the

plain Grilled Cheese. Mary Jane like to use American cheese for

her grilled cheese. Kathy said that her family uses Cheddar

cheese in their Grilled cheese sandwiches.

Comfort Meal

Enjoyed today by people around the world as an after school or

as a comfort meal, the modern version of a grilled cheese is

believed to have originated in the United States during the 1920s when sliced bread and cheese

became easily available.

The cheese usually used in grilled cheese is American cheese which is a processed cheese product

that has a very low melting point. Hot tomato soup, potato chips, and pickles are common

accompaniments of a grilled cheese sandwich.

How to Celebrate?

Make grilled cheese for all your meals. Have an egg and bacon grilled cheese for breakfast, a tomato

and mozzarella grilled cheese for lunch, and a traditional grilled cheese for dinner.

Who says grilled cheese has to be savory? Make a dessert grilled cheese with fruit and brie or cream

cheese and chocolate spread.

Gourmet up your grilled cheese by adding gourmet ingredients to it. What about adding some bacon

into the mix or some arugula and roasted beets for the vegetarians? Substitute tomato soup with sweet

potato soup or pumpkin soup.

In Arts and Crafts they make a Aluminum foil jewelry.

The participants choose what they like to make

necklaces or earrings.

Directions: To make beads

1. Cut the aluminum foil into small piece, take aluminum

foil and crush it for the texture.

2. We were maintaining the round shape as we were

rolling the foil.

3. When we reached the required size, just cut the foil.

If the bead seems to be little loose, keep rolling on

the table till it is a hard ball.

4. To poke the hole, I thought it can be done using a toothpick. But the toothpick is not sharp enough!

We used the pushpin. After the hole was made, we used toothpick to make the hole a little bigger.

Silver bead from Aluminum foil is done!

5. String both paper long bead and round foil beads. You can combine with colorful beads.

To make the earring: Cut out the shapes you desired out of thin cardboard sheet i have used the thin cardboard which

comes in shirt package and pierce a hole in the cut shapes to add the hooks take aluminium foil and

crush it for the texture, apply glue to the cuts and add foil on both the sides. Add the jump rings and

hooks to them and earrings are ready.

DANCE/DANCEXERCISE CLASS

Dancing is a fun high energy happy time, which boosts the

participant’s mood and is great exercise for all. .In dance the

participants get to pick a dance theme each week. Some

previous themes (which are demonstrated through viewing

videos): Native American, Square, Polka, Tango, Salsa,

Merenque, Jive/Swing, Charleston, Twist, Jazz, Modern, Tap,

Rain, Break, Robot, Ballroom, and International Dances from

around the world; Russian Hat, Spanish, Brazilian, Hawaiian.

Also the participants love favorite like; Cha Cha, Electric

Slide, Macarena. Other dance crazes like Zumba, Krumping, Pogo (Head Banging), Whip Nae Nae,

Cupid Shuffle, Gangnam Style. More dance themes include 70’s, 80’s, 90’s dance music. In dance we

have formed Conga Lines and danced the Limbo (dancing under a broom )and had a Soul Train Line,

where participant showed off their best dance moves. Sometimes the participants will dance as a

couple. Also during dance and dancerexercise the participants have dance battles. We also do chair

exercise, Kidz Bop, and Just Dance. Other Possible Dance class Themes: Hawaiian/Luau, Mardi

Gras, Beach party, Disco party, etc. During Dance Class, it’s like using a time machine to dance

PRETZEL DAY

Pretzel Day is on April 26th, 2018. Victor and

Mary jane likes the soft pretzels. Common

hard pretzel additives include honey, onion,

pumpernickel, garlic, butter, sesame, jalapeno,

mustard, barbecue and even soy. They also

come chocolate covered. They vary in shape

from the old style, arms-crossed cutout, to bite-

sized logs, to waffle shapes, to thick rods. There

are also pretzel dogs. Also there is pretzel bread

that are use to make sandwiches. Jon R. said that he likes the pretzels stuffed with cheese.

You can also have pretzels with M&M on them. Pretzel with peanut butter in them. Also there

are pretzels covered with chocolate and or yogurt. Here are some other ways to eat Pretzels.

The Pretzel Burger Bun

An Auntie Anne's Pretzel

Strawberry and Nutella Sandwich on Pretzel Bread

Salted Caramel Pretzel Cheesecake

The entire saying goes something like this: “March

winds and April showers bring May flowers and June

bugs.”

During The month of April, The weather is usually very

rainy. All of this rain helps to make the flowers grow.

Prov. Although rain in April is annoying, it starts the

flowers

growing. Child: I hate all this rain. Why does it have to

rain? Mother: April showers bring May flowers. Although

it was a dreary, rainy day, we felt cheerful, since April

showers bring May flowers.Top of Form

Bottom of Form

As you can see, the rhyme was originally a short poem.

There is meaning behind the words, as well. “April

showers bring May flowers” is a reminder that even

the most unpleasant of things, in this case the heavy

rains of April, can bring about very enjoyable things

indeed – in this case, an abundance of flowers in May.

JELLY BEAN DAY

Jelly Bean day is

April 22nd of this

year. Victor said

that he likes the

black licorice jelly beans. Mary Jane likes

the Cinnamon jelly beans. Kathy likes any

red color jelly beans like strawberry, cherry,

etc. It is normally thought that jelly beans

first surfaced in 1861, when Boston

confectioner William Schrafft urged people

to send his jelly beans to soldiers during the

American Civil War. It was not until July

5, 1905, that jelly beans were mentioned in

the Chicago Daily News. Jon W. like the

booger flavored jelly bean. Darla likes the

black licorice jelly bean. Jaime likes all jelly

beans all except the black jelly.

HAIRSTYLE APPRECIATION DAY

Jon R. - I like a buzz.

Jon W.- The Mohawk, like Mr. T.. I appreciate it but I never wanted to wear one. I don’t have the guts.

Once I saw a guy with his hair sculpted like a moose.

Benessia – I like a poofy ponytail.

Darla – I like short hair, so I can wash it easily. The longest I ever had my hair was down to my shoulders.

That didn’t go too good. It was too hard to wash.

Destiny – I like to put my hair up in a messy bun. I think a top knot is strange. It is when you have part of

your hair up in a bun and part of it down in the back.

Joey – I like slick hair. It is really nice looking. Jack Dawson in Titanic, had his hair slicked back. At one

time, my hair was down to my shoulders. And once I saw a picture of a girl with her hair made into

helicopter blades.

Brittany – I like getting my hair French braided.

National Siblings Day

Honor your sibling on Siblings on April 10th. National Siblings Day is an opportunity to celebrate

the very significant and often under-appreciated relationship between brothers and sisters.

Those blessed with siblings know that at times they can be annoying to be around. Don’t let that

keep you from celebrating what could probably be the longest relationship in your life.

This unofficial day was started by Claudia Evart in memory of her brother and sister, whom she

lost early in her life.

Jon W. – I have three siblings and three in-laws. There was never a dull moment around our

house when we were growing up. They were constantly around the house. Sometimes they

were annoying. Sometimes they were fun. But there was never a dull moment.

Darla –I have a brother and a sister. I am looking forward to going to Dutch Apple Dinner

Theater with my sister to see the Wizard of Oz and have lunch there.

Jamie – I have two siblings. One is in St. Joseph’s Cemetary. He was an older brother who only

lived for an hour. I also have an older sister, who I live with.

One Christmas, when we were very young, my sister and I got up early and went downstairs.

When we heard my parents coming, we quickly ran back up and got in bed.

My sister would agitate me and I would scream. I would get in trouble with my parents. One day

they heard her agitating me, and finally understood why I screamed. Joey – I have two sisters.

The oldest sister is Jennifer, who has been married for 16 years. She has two children, Kayla and

Kyle. I actually cried at her wedding. It was so beautiful. A friend saw me and told my mom.

Then my Mom started crying, too..

Jon R. – I have two brothers, and one sister. I remember going to church together when we

were younger.

April Fools' Day

April Fool’s Day is celebrated every April 1st, by playing

practical jokes on family and friends. When the prank is

discovered, the instigator shouts ’April Fools!’. Sometimes

the news media report fake stories, which are usually

corrected the next day or below the news section in small

letters. Although April Fool’s Day has been popular since

the 19th century, it is not a public holiday in any country.

Here, at Adult Enrichment, Amparo is known for her April Fool’s pranks. So we decided to

interview her.

Q. What was April Fool’s like when you were a kid?

Amparo: We don’t celebrate April Fool’s Day in Colombia, but we have something similar on

December 28th, El Biente Ocho. Children would go from house to house and we would put

fake poop on the door step, or chewing gum on the door bell. Then we would ring the bell

and run away. Sometimes people put salt in someone’s coffee.

One Saturday morning when I was a child, my Mom said, ‘Wake up, you are late for school!’

I quickly took a shower. Then she said, ‘Go back to bed, it is Saturday.

Q. Where do you come up with your ideas for April Fool’s pranks?

Amparo: I find ideas online and add my own ideas to make them better. My favorite one

was one time I took the cardboard from a toilet paper. I got it wet, rung it out and shaped it.

Then I put a small piece of it on the toilet seat, and the rest of it on the floor in the AE

bathroom. Alisha came early in the morning and found it. She said ‘Oh my god’. ‘What?’ I

asked, as I came to look. ‘Oh, that is disgusting!’ I said. I offered to clean it up. Alisha

said, ‘No, I will. She rolled up her pants and put on gloves. When she picked it up I said,

‘April Fool’s!’ Other favorite pranks are, putting Vaseline on door, cabinet and microwave

handles. Or I’ll walk up behind someone and sneeze and spray them with a water bottle at

the same time.

In order to balance out the perspective of April Fool’s pranks, we interviewed Tania.

Q. What is it like being the victim of other people’s April Fools pranks?

Tania: I went into the Staff Bathroom early in the morning. I saw something like a #2 in the

toilet. And I looked at it, and I knew Amparo was the only one here. I thought, ‘Ewwwwww,

she is nasty.’ Then I flushed it. Later, Alisha came and said, ‘Did you find something in the

bathroom?’ ‘I said, ‘Yeah, it was nasty.’ Alisha said, ‘Amparo did an April Fool’s joke on you.

What do you think?’ ‘She is nasty!’, I said. That was two years ago, and I am still

traumatized by it.

Amparo loves to put Vaseline on the cabinet handles, microwave handles and the Staff

Bathroom doorknob. When I touched my cabinet, I said ‘Yuck!!’ Amparo is the April Fool’s

Queen.

One of April’s Flowers of the month is the Sweet Pea. It is a climbing vine a

fragrant flower and can be traced back to 17th century Italy. It brought to

England and cultivated for its sweet aroma.

These flowers became popular in late Victorian gardens and were included in

gift bouquets sent to show gratitude. They are a symbol of Edwardian England

and were an important part of floral arrangements for wedding and dinner

parties during that period. Additional meanings of the sweet pea are delicate

pleasure, blissful pleasure and good-bye. The sweet pea is still used in flower arrangements and wedding

bouquets. It has a soft, paper-like texture. Its colors range from purples, pinks and creams to salmon as

well as two-toned varieties.It has a sweet fruity fragrance. But, do not eat the seeds of the sweet pea.

They are poisonous. Plant the Sweet pea in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. They produce many

blossoms and are good to use in cut flower arrangements. The Farmer’s Almanac recommends

gathering the flowers in the morning when the dew is still on them, and their scent is the sweetest. They

can also be dried and their petals used to make potpourri.

EASTER

Easter is always on a Sunday said by Jon .W. Mary Jane stated the flower Lily is the Easter flower. Victor stated that on Easter people go to Church. Joey stated that Jesus arose from the Dead. For Dinner some people have ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, string beans, pumpkin pie. Jon W. said lots of pounds gained. On Easter some people have Easter egg Hunts in their back yard. When is Easter 2018 and how is the date decided? This year's Easter takes place from Good Friday on March 30 until Easter Monday on April 2 - making Easter Sunday on April 1, which is also April Fool's day. The death of Jesus occurred around the Jewish Passover, which is traditionally held on first full moon following the vernal equinox. As the full moon can vary in each time zone, the Church said that they would use the 14th day of the lunar month instead – the Paschal Full Moon – and host Easter Day on the following Sunday.

Picture by Stephanie

Our March outing we wanted to do

something adventurous. We decided that

going to That Fish Place would be perfect!!!

Sam was able to pet a Stingray and we

walked around and spotted different marine

life and the little critters that sleep there too.

After, we enjoyed walking next door to have

lunch at Isaac’s. There they name their

sandwiches after different birds. How funny

is that. If you have never been I can say at

least try it.

WORLD PARTY DAY

World Party Day is on April 12, 2018

The idea behind the holiday is that the

opposite of war and suffering should not

be to passively observe peace. Instead,

people must actively participate in the

celebration of life.

First in 1996. The holiday is inspired by

the ending of the 1995 novel, Flight: A

Quantum.

Fiction Novel, by Vanna Bonta, where a

countdown is set to April 3, 2000 when a

worldwide synchronized celebration

occurs.

The first Party Day was held around the

world in 1996.

How to Celebrate?

Research suggests that meeting new people from different cultures helps cultivate intercultural

understanding and harmony. So why not throw a party for your family and friends and ask

them to bring their friends and coworkers along?

Organize a block party. Peace begins at home and by being neighborly. Spend time with your

neighbors and celebrate your neighborhood.

What about partying for a cause? Host a party and have your guests contribute to a cause

close to your and your heart.

Whatever you do and whoever you party with, remember that you need no excuse to celebrate

life and to be good to others.

National Kite Month

April is the month to celebrate kite flying. As

the last of the snow gives way to green

lawns, it draws us outside and invites us to

be active. So why not try your hand at kite

flying this year? Bring your kite out of the

closet. Dust it off and prepare it for a

summer on the beach. Or choose a kite

from the many different designs and colors

available these days. Make your own, or

buy one. Then, pick a windy day, find an

open field, and go for it….Go Fly A Kite! Experience the joy and happiness that comes from

letting out the line, catching the wind, and seeing the kite soar high into the sky.
