Week of November 19, 2007

We have been working on the letter “Pp” this week. Our poem for the week was Little Pilgrim. We found the Pp’s our poem and talked about being thankful. We practiced printing the capital and lowercase Pp, worked on the My Pp Book and in our journals drew something in our “pockets”.
In math, we are learning how to copy and extend different kind of patterns. We worked on the AB, AAB and ABB patterns using unifix cubes and coloring the patterns on paper.
