Reasons to LOVE Mondays
Good Monday morning, amazing educators!
Let’s flip the script on Mondays, shall we? Instead of thinking it’s the start of a tough week, how about seeing it as the beginning of new opportunities—like a fresh page waiting for your brilliance? Mondays are actually pretty special and we’ve got some fun facts that might surprise you and your students. For instance, did you know…
🦸🏻 “Monday” can rearrange itself to spell “dynamo”? Yep, it’s the Clark Kent of weekdays!
🌞 Mondays are the least rainy day of the week. Scientists are scratching their heads over this one, but they suspect it’s because the weekend warriors have given pollution a break.
🎶 “Monday, Monday” by The Mamas & the Papas is one of the most famous songs written about Monday. It even won a Grammy!
So, there you have it—Monday isn’t so bad after all! Here’s to a week filled with laughter, learning, and maybe even a little bit of dynamo magic. Cheers!
