V ~ VACATION from School at Suncrest Water Park! We spent our morning playing in the spray park, on the playground and relaxing on our blankets with our friends. Cool, windy weather unfortunately had us heading back to school after lunch, but we got a quick side visit with Ms. Lawder at South Slope.

Thank you to all the students who created questions to our Think Math answer last week:
The answer is 17 Sports Day stations. 
There were 5 stations. Sunny opened a station then the kids said, “We’re mad! Give us another one.” Then they got 1 more with criminals involved. Then 10 more opened because they were happy. How many in all? ~ Sunny
Way to go Grade 2s & 3s! What an awesome year of Think Math questions. I’ve had so much fun reading all the different questions from all of you! I can’t wait to share the questions to our summer themed Think Math answers next month!
