If you were being run in June, your birthstone is the pearl. Pearls are found in clams and oysters. However, in Ancient Greece, people thought pearls came from Aphrodite’s tears. These translucent gems are typically milky white or cream, but they can also come in lavender, green, black, blue, and silver. It all depends on the oyster or clam the pearl cam from and the environment in which it was produced.

June is known for weddings, but do you know why? In Ancient Rome the Romans, celebrated Juno, the goddess of marriage, around the month of June. In the 15th and 16th centuries, June was the month when people first bathed after the long winter. Both traditions lead to an increase in marriages during the month. Today, over 10 percent of all weddings each year are held during the month of June.

On June 26, 1959, President Dwight Eisenhower and Queen Elizabeth II dedicated the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The seaway is the world’s longest inland waterway. Ships are able to travel the seaway from Duluth, Minnesota, to the Atlantic Ocean, which is a total distance of more than 2,000 miles.

SpongeBob is a cartoon where the main character is a sponge, and he goes on adventures with friends and more!

SB is a fictional character in the show SBSP. He is the main character in the show and has friends that mostly appear in all the episodes. Jeff Kinney is the voice actor for SB.

Since the cartoon has most of SB’s friends in episodes I might as well list them. Patrick is one of his (SB’s) main friends in the cartoon. Squidward is also one of his friends, but he never wants to talk, play or even hear SB. Sandy is a squirrel that lives underwater, she has to wear a helmet to breathe underwater though. Mr. Krab’s is SB’s boss and friend in the series.

SpongeBob is a sponge with black shiny shoes, a brown and white shirt, a “krabby patty” work hat (he doesn’t always have it on), and white socks with light blue and red stripes on it.

In all SBSP’s is one of my favorite cartoons growing up, and I think a lot of people can think the same!

Every June, the third Sunday of the month is all about fathers. That’s because the third Sunday of June is when many people celebrate Father’s Day. On this day, people often give cards or gifts to their fathers, grandfathers, and other special men in their lives. The first official Father’s Day was held in 1910 after a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd pushed for a day to honor her father, who raised six children on his own.

Every June, the best tennis players in the world head to London for the world’s oldest tennis tournament. Wimbledon, as the tournament is known, is played at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. It is one of the few tennis matches to be played on a real grass court, which was also how it was played in 1877, during the very first Wimbledon. That first tournament was won by Spencer Gore.
