(You may need to refresh to see our video Morning Greeting in the space above.)
Attendance: We would like your grown-ups to email Jackie and I every day with your answer to the day’s joke or riddle. 

Today’s attendance riddle is:

Billy’s father has five children total. Four of them are named Lala, Lele, Lili, and Lolo. What is the fifth child’s name?

Next to each subject below, you’ll see a time. Set a timer for the time indicated. Try your best to do as much of the work as you can during that time. If you have any work from Katherine, that work should be done first. If you need any help, Jackie and I will be available through email to answer any questions you have during our “office hours” at 11am-12pm and 2:30pm-3:30pm. 

We miss you and would love to see what you are up to at home! Feel free to share anything you find interesting, and we’ll add it to the blog for others to see. Also, if you’d like, email us pictures and captions of what you’re up to, so we can create a gallery of pictures for Friday’s blog post. (We do need the pictures before 8:30am on Friday for it to be included in the gallery.)

On Friday, we’ll try to video conference through Google Meet at 10-10:30am, so we can have our Friday Meeting and see what everyone’s plans are for the weekend. We’ll send an invitation to your grown-ups to join us through Google Meet.
