When I returned to El Centro, I felt alot closer to Ricardo after spending the last week with him at Servo for his birthday.  This week started a string of weeks where we would review the states.  Today, we looked at the east coast: New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maine.  We used the internet to find interesting facts about the states, like the state bird and the state song. 

   After looking up the states, we did some math problems with decimals and then played Connect Four for ten minutes until our time ended.  I felt my connection with Ricardo grew this week as we had fun while doing work and not just when we played.
