Weekly News for 2-P 12-19-25
School resumes on Monday, January 5, 2026! Happy Holidays to you all!
*In math we kicked off unit 6 with practicing strategies for subtraction, specifically counting up or counting back for efficiency. We also learned to make a 10 for easy subtraction. Then we delved into 2 digit subtraction practice and used base 10 blocks for this work. Students carried over much of their thinking from our addition unit. After break we will hit subtraction with regrouping!
*In writing workshop we revised, edited and published our invention reports. We learned to write paragraphs for this piece and did a separate paragraph for the beginning, middle and end. We continue to work on crafting clear sentences and are all striving toward increased independence with capitalization and punctuation.
*We completed our Wabanaki unit this week and learned about Abenaki color and family words. We loved the book “The First Blades of Sweetgrass,” written by two Maine authors!
*Our spelling work was long 0 patterns. Our phonics work centered on the short and long sounds made by -oo or -u.
*We had a school-wide holiday sing-along Wednesday afternoon and Friday was filled with fun in our classroom community. We engineered the tallest snowmen we could (out of toothpicks and marshmallows), drew a holiday snow globe, ate popcorn and fruit, listened to some holiday music, did holiday fun packets and more. What a great group of kids - we have a blast together - and I’m so grateful for their joy every day.
