SUMMARY:World Party Day
DESCRIPTION:World Party Day on April 3rd encourages a coordinated effort of joyful human celebration around the globe. \n\n\n \n#WorldPartyDay\nThe world gathers to celebrate for many reasons. Forming a party often includes food\, beverages\, music\, games\, and other festivities. Hosts often create a theme or the theme generates the party. Several common modern-day party themes include bachelor and bachelorette\, birthday\, retirement\, anniversary\, graduation and welcome home. Many other party themes focus on specific foods. \nIn our modern world\, parties can also be virtual. We don’t always have to gather in the same location to celebrate a specific event or day. Technology brings us together through video and the internet allowing us to connect long-distance and celebrate all our favorite ways. \nThe novel Flight: A Quantum Fiction Novel\, by Vanna Bonta published in 1995\, which concludes with a synchronized worldwide celebration that occurs on April 3\, 2000\, is the inspiration for World Party Day. Gatherings can be small or large organized festivals. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE WORLD PARTY DAY\n\nWhere ever you are\, celebrate with friends and family. Pick a theme that best fits the day. We’ve created a list of fun ideas to invite friends to join you virtually. Go online and create a video chat or an event on social media to share your party.\n\nMake your own pizza party – Everyone makes their own creative pizza. Share the recipe with other party participants.\nMovie night party – Pick a movie that all your party invitees will be watching. Pop popcorn and grab your drinks. Everyone starts the movie at the same time and lets the comments fill the online event page.\nTrivia party night – Play online trivia in a video chat with friends and family.\nDance party – Challenge friends to record their best dance moves and share them with each other.\nGame party – Hook up the gaming systems and invite friends and family to join you in the virtual world of games.\nArt party – Do it Bob Ross style and invite a local artist to demonstrate techniques for a group of your friends all through the power of the internet.

SUMMARY:National Final Rainbow Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year on April 3rd\, National Find a Rainbow Day challenges us to look to the sky and find a colorful ray of hope cast across it. \n\n\n \n#FindARainbowDay\nThere are people that see rainbows as an artistic masterpiece in the sky\, to others it is a sign of hope and to many a sign of promise.\nIt can be all three; beauty\, hope and promise.    (Jill Magnus) \n \nA spectrum of light in the form of a multicolored arc\, appearing in the sky\, is caused by both reflection and refraction of light in water droplets in the Earth’s atmosphere. These rainbows always appear directly opposite of the sun. The light is refracted (bent) when it enters a droplet of water\, then is reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it. \nRed is the color that is visible on the outer part of a rainbow and violet on the inside of a primary rainbow. Children learn in science class the mnemonic ROYGBIV to help them to remember the sequence of colors in a rainbow: red\, orange\, yellow\, green\, blue\, indigo\, violet. Many forms of airborne water can cause rainbows including\, rain\, mist\, spray\, and dew. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE FIND A RAINBOW DAY\n\nFind yourself a rainbow or use the garden hose or a prism to make one yourself.\nFamilies\, students\, and classrooms\, create a rainbow from the colorful hearts on this printable. There’s at least one for every color in the rainbow. Take out your color crayons and finish what we’ve started.\nThen cut them out and put them in a cheerful\, sunny window to brighten the day of someone passing by.\nCreate a rainbow as part of a science project.\nUse #NationalFindARainbowDay to post on social media.\n\nSource Link
