Dear Parents and Guardians,

2R welcomes a new student named Brooke Chenowith who just moved to Kingston from Manchester with her mother.    I hope you are enjoying the December reading calendar.  Please send in, or email pictures of your child reading if you can.  These will be displayed on our bulletin board in front of the classroom.  Examples:  Reading in the car, or with stuffed animals or maybe even reading under the Christmas tree!! 
During the winter months, please make sure your child comes to school dressed for the snow.  Snow pants, snow boots, mittens or gloves and a hat are required for them to play in the snow.
Since we have PE three times per week, please make sure they also pack sneakers or you could leave an extra pair at school.

In the Classroom
    
In Writer’s Workshop, the kids are writing lists for Santa and preparing to turn the list into a letter to be sent to the North Pole. 

During the next two weeks, we will be reading lots of holiday books.  We will focus on author’s craft with books by Jan Brett such as The Mitten, and The Hat to name a few.  We are also reading Brave Irene by William Steig and the kids are creating their own ending to the story.

In Math, we have begun Unit 4.  Children extend their understanding of place value, which provides a foundation for the development of strategies for fluently adding and subtracting multidigit numbers later in second grade.  They also explore standard tools for measuring length and for telling time.  Please keep up the practice at home with the value and identification of coins.

As always, please feel free to contact me if there is anything I can do to attend to your child’s educational needs.  My contact information is below.

Sincerely,                                                                                                      Email: nreagan@sau17.org
