Happy Friday, all!

Today's Leader is... Hope the Three-Toed Sloth!  She is an amazing animal! Do you remember the story about Sparky the Sloth?  You can hear it here: Sparky!


Today is April 10, 2020.

Hope and Darla learned some new words in French:

sloth: paresse (PAH-ress)
slowly: lentement (LON-teh-mon)
toes: orteils (OR-tay) (you don't say the last /s/)

Try these! 

1. The sloth    move      moves      slowly.

2. Hope the Sloth       has         haves       three toes on each foot.

3. Most sloths live       hi          high        in trees.

4. Have you ever     seen       saw       a sloth?

5. I think sloths     are        is     very interesting animals.

Today's Math Challenge!

There were 3 sloths in a tree.   One of them ate 16 leaves.  The other two sloths ate 20 leaves together.  How many leaves did the 3 sloths eat in all?

Extra challenge! Think about the total you found in the first problem. Now find out if that number can be divided into 3 equal groups.  You can draw a picture, use ten frames, or use counters.

Did you learn some new facts about sloths?  I did!  I hope you have a great weekend!  Do you have a lot of plans, or are you going to relax?
See you tomorrow!  Don't forget-for the Saturday craft, you will need a washcloth and a rubber band.
