Happy Friday Everyone,

I have added our  30 Day Plank Challenge to the blog. Tomorrow is a day off! YAY!! Sunday is 45 seconds.  I know that this is really challenging me as at about 30 seconds I feel my body start to quiver a little bit.  This exercise is going to be great for our core.  Our core are the muscles that run up our stomach and up our back. They help support our bodies. These are important to our overall strength.  Strong core muscles help us to sit up straight, it protects all of our insides, and it will help prevent injuries when we are doing everyday activities.

The rest of our Friday went well. We continue to get our goals in IRIS.  We also had a few minutes out of the playground.  If the weather stays the way it has, please remember to be careful on the hill. It is very, very slippery.  This is great for sliding so we need to remember our sliding rules:

1.) Only slide on knees and bottom.

2.)  You cannot use anything to slide on like: shovels, backpacks, sleds, etc.

3.) Wait for a clear path and you cannot slide more than one person at a time.

We continued to look at Julien in Auggie and Me.  We discussed Julien's mom and what type of character she is.

This morning some of our friends from the Hope Hallway presented their assembly. They talked about bravery and courage. They should us how they made movies with clay people.  They did a dance and then they shared some of their writing. It was really, really good!

1.)  There is no school on Monday - It is a teachers' Professional Development Day

2.)  See you on Tuesday

Look at the math problem below.  Think about it and share what you thought.

Make up a subtraction question where the digits 4, 6, and 9 appear somewhere in the question.
