Today's Leader is...Jasper the Squirrel! Jasper is a gray squirrel. This is a cute book about a red squirrel: The Secret Life of Squirrels
Today is May 18, 2020.
Jasper and Darla have been learning some new words in Spanish:
squirrel: ardilla (are-DEE-yah)
acorn: bellota (bay-YO-tah)
Try these!
When we write the date, we use a comma in between the day and the year. Write these dates with a comma in the right place. If you're not sure, look above and see how I wrote today's date. Be sure to use an upper case for the first letter of the month.

Today's Math Challenge: Hundreds
You know about the ones and the tens places. When we use numbers greater than 99, we have to use the hundreds place. The number 100 has a 1 in the hundreds place, then 0 tens, then 0 ones.
Tell which digit is in the hundreds place in these numbers:
105
256
381
910
867
Extra Challenge! Tell how many tens and how many ones are in each number.
STEM Connection: Read the squirrel facts. Make a list of foods that squirrels eat. Then, circle the foods you also like to eat!

What a great weekend! I hope you got to be outdoors a lot! We worked in our yard, and I had some meetings. I hope the weather stays nice and warm, don't you?
Love,
