Language Workshop This week we read and compared the classic version of Cinderella with a new version called Ponyella.  We learned about pronouns. Pronouns take the place of nouns. We practiced using pronouns and finding them in our reading.	Math Workshop We continued working on Topic 4 “Addition and Subtraction Facts to 12” this week.  We practiced using a ten frame to help us add. Remember, addition flash cards are a great way to help your child build fluency with these facts.  You can usually find these at the dollar stores!
