Thanksgiving Plans

Leave a comment telling us what your family is doing to celebrate Thanksgiving!  Remember to only use your initials.  I'll go first!
My husband and I (and the dogs)are driving to South Carolina to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family.  We will stop in Columbia first, which is where my brother and his wife live.  We will stay with them on Wednesday night.  Then we will drive down to Charleston on Thursday to have a Thanksgiving feast at my grandma's house with lots of my aunts, uncles, and cousins. On Friday we will probably do some shopping to see if we can get some good sales.  Then Saturday will be busy with football!  We are planning to go to the South Carolina vs. Clemson game since by brother works for the SC Athletic Department and can get us tickets.  But, we'll mostly be cheering on the Tide as they play Auburn in the Iron Bowl!!!  It should be a fun break and I am excited to eat and relax!

Sometimes when you add, you have to regroup.  Explain what regrouping is and when you have to do it.  Also, explain one strategy you use to show adding with regrouping.
