Foreign Language-Here are two fun French phrases for you to learn today.
C'est la fin des haricots
While this expression literally means 'that's the end of the beans,' the French meaning is 'that's the last straw.' This expression, used often in exasperation, is quite confusing to French learners until they realize the meaning is not literal.
Ah, la vache!
A very popular expression in France, this expression means 'Oh my goodness!' The literal translation, 'Oh, the cow' strikes non-native French speakers as downright hilarious.
The popular expression link will take you to more phrases and slang. Have fun!
Some Mexican slang
Biology-Read about genomes and what genomes are made of. Draw a picture of DNA. Learn how A. T, C and G go together. Which letters attach to which? Ask your mom to get you things for the sequence bracelet if you like. Note in this print out the different patterns of A,T, C, and G and how they are blueprints for different organisms.Some Mexican slang
Aguas
You probably know that agua means water. But in slang aguas means be careful or look out!
I was told that it comes from when a lady would pour out a bucket of water onto the sidewalk. Is that right?
Codo
Codo means elbow, but in slang it means cheap, as in a cheap person. A codo person doesn´t want to flex their elbow, as in pulling out money and putting it on the table.
The “real” word for this is tacano.
“No seas codo” – don’t be cheap.

Writing- Quatains In poetry, a stanza is like a paragraph, and a quatrain is a stanza of exactly four lines, often with an alternating rhyme pattern.
Here’s a quatrain from the poem “Dreams” by Langston Hughes: “Hold fast to dreams / For when dreams go / Life is a barren field / Frozen with snow.” Most quatrains use alternating rhyme, like here with go and snow, and all quatrains have four lines, which explains why the French root of the word is quatre, meaning “four.” A quatrain can be one part of a long poem or an entire poem can be one quatrain — the choice is yours.

Bible-Genesis - The story of Joseph - Read Genesis 41 Things happen very fast in this chapter. Joseph's entire life is changed very quickly. How many years of suffering do you think Joseph had from the time he was sold by his brother's to the time he became second in command of Egypt? Why do you think God allowed him to suffer for that period of time? How does God use suffering for our good? Our culture places almost no value on suffering, why do you think that is? Can you think of any people we as a culture admire because they have suffered? Are there any people you admire because they have gone through suffering?

Bible-Genesis - The story of Joseph -Chapter 50 Re-read verses 15 - 21. Joseph's brothers were still afraid that Joseph would take vengeance on them. Joseph certainly foreshadows Christ in that he was powerful enough to punish his brothers, but chose instead to make sure they were cared for. This type of story runs throughout the Bible.
Every person will encounter suffering in this world, some of it may be inflicted by others. Take some time to think about how God can use even the worst things in our life for good. Romans 8:28 is a great summation of what happens to Joseph, except, it is a promise to all believers who follow Christ.

Bible-
This is an except from a teaching by Gary Delashmutt. Read through it; it explains the story of Joseph very nicely.
From Joseph's brothers, we learn what our root problem and how to resolve it.
They had true moral guilt. Their brother may have been an arrogant brat, and their father may have been foolish to show such favoritism--but they were morally wrong and responsible for what they did to Joseph. They had wronged Joseph and they had sinned against God by what they did--and until they got this issue resolved, their lives were fundamentally off course and all their other relationships were adversely affected by it.
This is the way God says it is with us, too. The root problem of our lives is not that we have been mistreated by other people, but that we have sinned against a holy God and are alienated from him and justly under his judgment. And this is the root problem that manifests its symptoms in other areas of our lives . . .And so God, because he loved them, orchestrated events to bring this issue to the surface. Notice the factors God used to move them to repentance, because he uses these same factors in our lives.
He allowed them to experience need (FAMINE). Later, they would look back on this as the best thing that ever happened to them--but at the time they just saw it as a real drag. This is how God gets our attention because it is the most effective way to help us see that something is radically wrong in our lives
He prompted the memory of their guilt by having Joseph treat them in the same way they treated him. Joseph was not being cruel or vengeful. He was cooperating with God to awaken their consciences (read 42:21). This is what God wants to do with us, not so we can be tortured by guilt but so we can resolve our guilt. We try to repress it, rationalize it, focus on how others have mistreated us, etc.--but God will find ways to remind you of your guilt before him
From Joseph, we learn how to navigate victoriously through a world that is hostile and unfair. Joseph is the antithesis of the "victim mentality"--because life or others have treated me cruelly and unfairly, I am justified in seeking vengeance, nursing self-pity, living selfishly and irresponsibly, expecting others to compensate me, etc.He guided them into the realization of how their sins were affecting others. When they realize how Benjamin's death would break Jacob's heart, they realized how much they must have broken his heart when they sold Joseph.Judah's confession to Joseph is the response God is looking for (read 44:16). He acknowledges his guilt without any excuses, he admits he deserves judgment, and he asks for mercy. This is the response Jesus says God is waiting to hear from us (read Lk. 15:18,19). This is what the Bible calls repentance.
Joseph's response is the response we will be greeted with when we turn to God in this way: forgiveness, experience his love and provision (read Lk. 15:20-24a). How can God respond this way if he is holy and righteous? Because Jesus went to the cross to take rap for us. This is why we have to come to Jesus with repentance if we want to resolve our root problem.
It's almost as though Joseph is a Christ-figure, isn't he? This is no coincidence. Joseph is in fact a prophetic type of Jesus: He is righteous, he is wrongly rejected by his people, but God works through his rejection to provide deliverance for the ones who rejected him (read Acts 2:23).
Part of this picture is true. Because we live in a fallen world, we are all victimized by others and this causes real pain. Civil rights and civil justice are important. Many people's pain is aggravated because their world-view doesn't include the fall, and therefore they expect their lives to be happy and pain-free.
More importantly, God exists and has revealed himself to us through his Word. This does not change evil into good, nor pain into pleasure, but it provides a perspective which can deliver us from the bondage of the victim mentality. Part of this perspective is lesson #1: I am a perpetrator as well as a victim, guilty before God and deserving of judgment, yet he forgives me.

Bible-Read this biography about Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the following short reading:
Thankfulness works in the Christian community as it usually does in the Christian life. Only those who give thanks for the little things receive the great things as well. We prevent God from giving us the great spiritual gifts prepared for us because we do not give thanks for daily gifts. We think that we should not be satisfied with the small measure of spiritual knowledge, experience, and love that has been given to us, and that we must constantly be seeking the great gifts. Then we complain that we lack the deep certainty, the strong faith, and the rich experiences that God has given to other Christians, and we consider these complaints to be pious. We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the small (and yet really not so small!) gifts we receive daily. How can God entrust great things to those who will not gratefully receive the little things from God’s hand?
