Happy Tuesday, friends!

Today's Leader is...Gina the Giraffe!  Gina is a reticulated giraffe.  Giraffes are one of my favorite animals!  Here is a great fiction story about a giraffe: Giraffes Can't Dance
Today is April 14, 2020.

Gina and Darla have been learning some new words in French:

giraffe: girafe (GEE-raff, with a soft /g/)
tall: grand (grawnd)
neck: cou (koo)

Try these:

1. did you ever feed a giraffe they have very long tongues

2. Those giraffes     ate     ated     a lot of leaves.

3. has    neck.    a    quite    That     long    giraffe

Today's Math Challenge!

Remember how we added two-digit numbers yesterday?  Try these!  Remember to add the ones first:

32+12     14+11      23+23      18+11

Extra challenge!  The giraffe at 25 leaves.  Then he ate 24 more.  How many leaves did he eat in all?
