Happy Friday, all!

Today's Leader is...Izzie the Zebra!  Izzie loves this zebra book: How Zebras Got Their Stripes

Today is May 30, 2020.

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

zebra: zèbre (ZAY-breh)
wild: sauvage (SO-vaje)

Try these!  Where would you put the quotation marks?

We can run so fast! said Lucy.

Did you hear that noise? asked Petra.

Mali said, I want to go, too!

3 dimes, 4 nickels, 5 pennies   OR    4 dimes, 2 nickels, 1 penny

2 dimes, 2 nickels, 2 pennies   OR   1 dime, 5 nickels,  3 pennies

Extra challenge!  A quarter is worth 25 cents. Can you find 2 combinations of pennies, nickels, and dimes to make 25 cents?

Are you looking forward to the weekend? It was so warm outside this week!  Do you think there will be any thunder later?  Enki does NOT like thunder. He hides under my chair!
