Weekly News for 2-P 12-5-25
*Thanks for sending coats, mittens, and hats daily as the weather turns colder. Also, please send indoor shoes daily or send a pair to leave in the locker.
*This week we learned about color words of the Micmac Nation and also found out all about the Penobscot Nation, which included reading a book called Sunu’s Basket. We are recording new learnings through book responses and in our Wabanaki Languages booklets.
*In math this week we practiced strategies for efficient addition with doubles facts, learned to decompose one addend to make friendlier numbers, practiced partial sums addition and also learned how to adjust addends to friendly numbers. Students are gaining experience with using these strategies independently. We will keep practicing!
*Our writing work this week focused on writing science articles. First, we had to do some research on our topics (using books and Pebble Go). Then we had to use a flow chart to plan out the steps involved in our topic. We wrote drafts using paragraphs! On Thursday we drafted these pieces. Next week we will revise and edit our drafts before publishing. Our grammar tie-in was learning about past, present and future tense as it relates to verbs.
*In UFLI phonics we worked on both long e and long o patterns. Our spelling unit this week was long o patterns as well.
*During reading workshop we read science articles to help support our writing work. We learned to do “close reading,” where we read a text several times to pull out different pieces of information (finding new vocabulary, locating headings and titles, main ideas).
