Daily Starters
Language:

Coauthors Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones collaborated, or worked together, on The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids series.

Two heads are better than one is a proverb that means some problems can be solved more easily by two (or more) people working together than by one person working alone.

Give an example from your life or from literature.

Math:

The museum closes at 4:45 p.m. The exhibit takes an hour and ten minutes to see. What is the latest time you should arrive at the museum?

[Hint: Subtract]

Teachable Moment:

You don’t have to like sports to keep your body moving. Play at the playground, rake leaves, walk your dog, work in the garden, go swimming, wash the car, make a snowman, even turn on your favorite music and dance around your bedroom!

Fun Fact:

Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system. It is so big, you could fit all of the other planets inside it! There is also a red spot on Jupiter that is a big storm — the biggest storm in the universe. The spot is at least three times as big as our planet!
