• Writing:  Write a letter to a family member who lives far away
• Math: If you haven't yet, try one of these problem solvers:

               1. When Lisa was 6 years old, her sister Lucy was half her age.  If Lisa is 40 years old                              today, how old is Lucy?

               2. Leo the Rabbit is climbing up a flight of 10 steps.  Leo can only hop up 1 or 2 steps each                     time he hops.  He never hops down, only up.  How many different ways can Leo hop up                      the flight of 10 steps?Provide evidence to justify your thinking. 

• Reading: Share your reading with an adult in your home.  See if you can answer these questions after finishing a fiction book this week:
