READING
                                  Next week we will be reading the story Erandi’s Braids written by Antonio Hernandez Madrigal.  In this story, Erandi hopes for a new dress for her birthday. Her mother finds holes in the fishing net, which makes Erandi wonder how there will be any money for her birthday gift.  We will be using inferences to understand the character’s feelings, motivations and actions.  We will be exploring the text structure in narrative texts to determine the characters and the plot of the story.

                   MATH
           
            Our next chapter will be on two-digit addition.     We will be exploring how to add 1-digit numbers to 2-digit numbers and then adding 2-digit numbers to 2-digit numbers.  Please remember to practice flash cards daily.
