We are celebrating Unique Name Day on the first Tuesday of the first full week of March. This year, it falls on March 3. This is a day dedicated to those with unique or rare names. It is also for those people with names that are hard to pronounce and where people usually ask them how to pronounce their names. Onomatology hobbyist Jerry Hill is behind the origin of this day in 1997. Do you have a unique name or know anyone with a special unique name? Then join us on this interesting day of celebrations.
National Retro Video Game Day
National Retro Video Game Day is celebrated on March 8 annually. It is a day for retro gamers to reminisce and bring out those retro games played in the earlier days of gaming before the arrival of Xbox and PlayStation, Wii, and other modern gaming. It is a celebration of the evolution of gaming from the earlier days of Mario and Pac-Man to the complex games it is now with intricate storytelling and amazing graphics. Let us take a walk down memory lane to remember those retro games.
No Homework Day
No Homework Day, celebrated on March 6, is a holiday that seeks to give students a break from homework assignments. Homework refers to a set of tasks assigned to students by their teachers to be completed outside the classroom. Common homework could include any of a variety of required reading, mathematical exercises to be completed, information to be reviewed before a test, or other skills to be practiced, depending on the discretion of the teacher involved. The issue of how effective homework assignments are has been debated over the years. In a general sense, homework does not particularly improve the academic performance of students.
