Cribbage

 Yup, tried to learn to play today... If you know how, please play with your child. If you used to know, here are the rules of Cribbage It's a great game that many of the grandparents in Canada know how to play. If you don't have a board, there are some cribbabe board apps available.


Other games we've been playing at school include chess, battleship, connect 4, and mancala.

We've read about September and his super cool math activity called Dollar Words, and we've started reading October's entries and have already learned that science doesn't always work out as planned (Poor Luke!) We FINALLY had recess outside starting yesterday. It made for really long days Monday through Wednesday, but at least our city wasn't on fire. Things could have been WAY worse. Plus, we got to watch the Magic School Bus Rides Again... in English... because we were working so hard those days. We looked at correcting French sentences and conjugating verbs and about possessives in French. We also learned that Janelle LOVES to write notes. So. Many. Notes. In math we thought about different ways to make a dollar,...
