Word For The Day, Monday 11/18/02
11/18/02 | Mistress Bella

Posted on 11/18/2002 12:20:37 AM PST by Bella_Bru

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....


munificent\mu·nif·i·cent\, adjective:
munificence, noun
munificently, adverb

1. Very liberal in giving; generous.
2. Showing great generosity: a munificent gift.

Etymology: Munificent is from Latin munificus, generous, bountiful, from munus, gift. The quality of being munificent is munificence.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Teacher's note:

Today we will be playing a little game. As you can see, the forms of the WFTD are given in the order of ADJECTIVE, NOUN, and last, ADVERB. You must carefully watch what the student ahead of you turns in for his/her homework, because you will be required to use the form following that which was previously used. For example, if he or she uses the noun form, you must use the adverb form. If the adverb form is used, the next student's homework must contain the adjective form. Points WILL be subtracted for failure to follow along. This little game will give you all the opportunity to learn from each other by scanning other student's homework. Do not disappoint Mistress Bella. You know how cranky she is on Mondays.

Lekvar are my favorite pierogies, too. My sister always used to let me have them - she would glom the potato & cheese. I also always seemed to have the sauerkraut ones to myself, too.

I guess I'm just old-fashioned.

Science homework:

Strikeout here north of Atlanta from 1:00-1:30 on the meteor shower -

Very light clouds, but a few stars shone through...

Add the glare of the moon on the clouds though (still high - about a 1:30 "sun" elevation of course) and only the hints of a couple "might" have been visible.

Casts a nice shadow though, and my solar collectors actually had a couple of volts on them .....
