Dear Cayce
Fractions
did better.
I studied
with apple pieces. My tutor cut up some apples. When I could
see the pieces I could see how adding fractions works. Like
if you cut an apple into six pieces, two pieces are the same
as one third. Three pieces are the same as half.
It kind
of works the same for eight pieces, except two pieces are
one quarter. Four pieces are one half.
Once we
practiced with the apple pieces for a while I got it right.
I even could add eighths and sixths!
After my
tutor left I shared the apple pieces with Acorn and Snow White.
They think I should study fractions more. Specially fractions
using apples.
What are you studying now?

Dear Maggie
Lulu went
to Africa a while ago. She came back. She lives in Wiggins
now. Her dad lives in Africa. Lulu says he is coming home
for Christmas.
Rosalie
always wants to ride Acorn. Sometimes she rides Mimi's pony,
Tongo. Rosalie really wants her own pony.
It is hard
to bring Rosalie and Mimi on trail rides. Once we did that
but they got lost. And Mimi can't always make Tongo do what
she wants. It ends up like we are babysitters. Without being
paid. 8-P
Friends,
