This week we will be enjoying the story If You Give a Pig a Pancake along with the other books written by Laura Numeroff. We will be looking at cause and effect along with giving it our best shot to write a story in the Laura Numeroff style.


We will be learning how to use pronouns in our writing and to recognize them in other's writing. Have you seen how well your child edits now? I am so proud of their efforts and the peer editing that they have started to do too!


We will also be learning about recipes and making our very own pancakes!


In math, we will be working in Chapter 17 which is using addition strategies to add doubles and doubles plus one. It also focuses again on adding three numbers and the strategy to do so. We will continue with our timed math. All of these concepts should be the ones you have your child do as his/her daily math homework.


Our class will be attending the play Mulan Jr performed by the junior high students at Aptos Jr. High. If you have not sent in your child's permission slip along with $1, please do so ASAP. If you are a driver and or a chaperone, please add $1 for you too.
