February News from 2T

This month our class made Valentine hearts for our soldiers, drew pictures, and sent them each a box filled with many of their favorite treats, goodies and things they need. Our class made Valentine door hangers for meals on wheels with tissue paper, and hearts. They were all so beautiful I know they will be loved and cherished this Valentine’s day. Susan Willmore a story teller came in and read some wonderful stories to us, we all really enjoyed listening to each one.

During the month we learned about vowel diphthongs, coin recognition and its value, adding and subtracting money, and making change. We read many books about Groundhogs Day, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington. As a group we discussed the similarities and differences between both presidents, and what it would be like to be the president. Our class had a wonderful Valentine’s Day party, we had many delicious treats and goodies, the children exchanged Valentine cards and watched Snoopy’s Valentine.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!

Welcome 2010!!!! Our first month of the year went very well, and needless to say it was a busy month too!! We have been learning about the Sacrament of Reconciliation, vowel diagraphs, and we read many books about Martin Luther King Jr. and talked about his many accomplishments in his life. We are continuing to build on our double digit addition skills and are learning about two digit subtraction with regrouping. We sent out three more boxes to our adopted soldiers and sent New Years cards to another soldier serving in Iraq. This month we took our first steps into the world of cursive writing!!! This is very exciting for the children and they look forward to Handwriting each day!!

Happy New Year!!

December was a busy month filled with many fun and exciting activities. We were honored to have one of our adopted soldiers visit us. PFC. James Marusarz and his wife Janelle, were so excited to meet all the children. The children loved meeting PFC James, he talked about some of the things he does in Afghanistan, he answered many questions, the children read their Christmas Wishes to him, and then we all celebrated with cupcakes, and treats. It was a great afternoon for us all, and we were all so happy to spend time with PFC James and Janelle. Our class was in a beautiful Christmas concert and looked so cute as red candy canes!! Mrs. Kocsis lead a fun craft making pine cone bird feeders. We sent 4 boxes filled with Christmas Wishes and lots of goodies to Sgt. Jeffery Miller, Sgt. Mark Mccollum, Major Christopher Schilling and we gave PFC James his box when he was here!!! We made our soldiers so happy this Christmas Season… Thank you to all of the parents in 2T, your generosity and support is greatly appreciated by myself and the soldiers!!!

This month we learned about the birth of Jesus and how Christmas is celebrated around the world. We are continuing to review nouns and verbs, we focused on initial and final diagraph sounds; and In math we are working on double digit addition with regrouping,

Merry Christmas!!
