BRAIN TEASER:

   Squaring Up Riddle  

Can you calculate the number of squares that are there in the given picture?    

Monday, May 19th  Answer:  

1 Chicken = 20 – So, 20 + 20 + 20 = 60  

1 Egg Basket = 3 – So, 20 + 3 + 3 = 26  

1 Bunch of Bananas = 6 – So, 3 + 6 + 6 = 15  

Finally, Chicken = 20 ; Egg Basket = 3 ; Bananas = 6 – So, 20 + 3 x 5 = 35 

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT:

 

Social Wellness for Teens: Practices 

Maintaining a healthy social life is a part of keeping up with your mental health, especially during this pandemic. There are a few simple steps to take to ensure that you have a healthy social life:    

  1. Put “spend time with friends” on your to-do list. 
  • Social interaction is just as important as “me time.” Just make sure you have a healthy balance between the two.  
  • Quality time with friends is a great way to take a break from stress in your personal life.  
  • You will sometimes find that your peers are going through some of the same things as you and understand the feelings that you are experiencing.   
  • Phone conversations, texting, and social media interactions throughout the day are good ways to stay connected to your loved ones when physical interaction is not possible.
