Today is the big day. The entire third grade class is going to visit the zoo. You are very excited because you love animals. There is a big yellow bus parked in front of the school. The teacher, Miss Lila, is lining everybody up in pairs. You quickly line up next to your best friend Oliver. Soon, everyone is on the bus and ready to go! When you arrive at the zoo everyone runs off the bus toward the zoo entrance. "Pay attention", Miss Lila says, "stay together at all times. Do not run away from the group. You could get into trouble. We will visit the aviary first, that´s where all the birds live." The entire group starts walking together to the aviary. Suddenly Oliver pulls your arm and says: "Hey, let´s go see the lions first. We can catch up with the group later." What should you do?

Check in tomorrow to continue the story the way you want to! Should you go with Oliver to see the lions(CHOICE A) or do you think Miss Lila will not like you leaving the group?(CHOICE B) Remember you decide!

TIP OF THE DAY

If you live in a two story house you and your family tend to collect things downstaris that usually belong upstairs (jackets, sports gear, backpacks, newly bought toiletries). Place a small box or basket at the bottom of the stairs. When cleaning downstairs drop anything that belongs upstairs in the box. When you, or any older household member is going up, take the box with you. It´s much easier to arrange everything on the same floor than going up and down!

DAILY RECIPE: Aluminum Foil Fish

4 -6 Fish filets
Finely Chopped Garlic
Lemon Juice
Salt, Pepper
4 -6 Aluminum Foil Sheets ( 12 x 12 in or 30 x 30 cm)

Season fish filets with salt and pepper. Place an aluminum foil sheet on a clean, flat surface. Put the fish filet on top and sprinkle the chopped garlic and squeeze a lot of lemon juice. Close the aluminum foil by bringing opposite sides together and pressing firmly. Be sure to leave space for the air to circulate inside the aluminum foil wrap. Do the same for all fish filets. Place on the grill or on a hot pan for a few minutes until you hear it sizzle and check to see if its done. BE CAREFUL when opening the aluminum foil, hot steam will come out. Fish is done when it flakes when you put a fork in it.
