Today's Leader is...Lena the Blue Whale! Please enjoy this fun story about a boy whose parents buy a blue whale to teach him responsibility: Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem. It's written by one of our favorite authors, Mac Barnett (he wrote Chloe and the Lion and Sam and Dave Dig a Hole).
Today is May 8, 2020.
Lena and Darla have been learning some new words in French:
whale: baleine (BAH-leh-nah)
water: eau (rhymes with "owe")
Try these! Can you find the verbs? Remember, verbs can be action words. They can also be words like am, are, is, was, were, be, being, been, have/has/had, do/does/did, can/could, shall/should, will/would...
