THE LION WOKE UP AND THERE WAS NO MEAT. NEAR HIS HOME, THERE WAS THE FOX’S HOME. THE LION KNEW THAT THE FOX ATE HIS MEAT SO HE WENT TO THE FOX’S HOME AND SCOLDED HIM. THE FOX WAS SAD. LATER ON, A MAN CAME TO HUNT THE ANIMALS. HE SAW HOW THE LION SCOLDED THE FOX. HE TRAPPED THE LION. THE FOX HEARD THE ROARS AND HELPED THE LION.

"STUDY BINGO" MAKE STUDYING ENJOYABLE BY MAKING IT INTO A GAME! FIRST, USE A 5X5 GRID TO CREATE A BINGO CARD. WRITE A DISTINCT STUDY OBJECTIVE OR ASSIGNMENT IN EACH SQUARE, SUCH AS "READ 10 PAGES," "SOLVE 5 MATH PROBLEMS," "REVIEW VOCABULARY," OR "FINISH A QUIZ." TAILOR THE ASSIGNMENTS TO YOUR SUBJECTS AND STUDY REQUIREMENTS. TAKE ON EACH TASK AS YOU MOVE THROUGH YOUR STUDY PERIOD. MARK OFF THE MATCHING SQUARE EACH TIME YOU FINISH ONE. GETTING A "BINGO" REQUIRES FINISHING A ROW, COLUMN, OR DIAGONAL! WHEN YOU DO, REWARD YOURSELF WITH SOMETHING FUN, LIKE A SHORT BREAK, A FAVORITE SNACK, OR EVEN WATCHING A QUICK VIDEO.

CedEco Tips START A PLANT SWAP: TO MAKE GROWING PLANTS MORE FUN AND SOCIAL, ARRANGE A PLANT EXCHANGE WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY, OR NEIGHBOURS. ORGANISE A LAIDBACK GATHERING WHERE PARTICIPANTS BRING A FEW PLANTS OR CUTTINGS THEY ARE READY TO EXCHANGE. IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT NEW PLANT SPECIES, EXPAND YOUR PLANT COLLECTION, AND EXCHANGE PROPAGATION AND MAINTENANCE ADVICE. IN ADDITION TO BEING A GREAT WAY TO SPEND TIME WITH FRIENDS, IT PROMOTES INDOOR GARDENING, ENHANCES AIR QUALITY, AND STRENGTHENS COMMUNITY TIES. PLUS, IT CAN BE VERY SATISFYING TO WATCH YOUR COLLECTION OF PLANTS EXPAND WITH NEW SPECIES!
