Friday is National Popcorn Day!

What would could go better with the Rio Fest International
Environmental Film Festival (Jan 19 & 20) than National Popcorn Day.

Yes this tastey movie side kick has it's own national holiday and
Friday is it.

So how can you celebrate? Read about popcorn history(social studies),
Find out what makes popcorn pop(Science), draw popcorn (great excercise
in contour!), double a popcorn recipe (Math), read or write a popcorn
poem(language arts)Invent a popcorn song(music), jump around pretending
to be popocorn popping (Phys Ed). How about comparing micorwave
popcorn and stove top or machine pop? (science/language arts)
