Welcome, Spring! P2 has been enjoying the warm and beautiful weather. We will be discussing the season of Spring and all the wonderful things that happen in these up coming months. The caterpillars have arrived and we are excited to watch them turn into butterflies!
Last month, we had our safety kids assembly and the children all performed the song, "I am in Charge". They learned so much about keeping safe and taking care of themselves. We also learned about math fractions. It was fun to divide different things up and figure out how many parts made a whole. 
This month we are focusing on measurement and landforms. Grandparents day will be on April 19th. The last week of April is our "Hobby Collection Week"! The children are invited to bring in their favorite collection or hobby to share with their friends. More information about this week will be sent home prior to that week. 

Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday!

Our Mid-year progress reports are completed and in the office for you to get.  I will soon be scheduling spring parent conferences and look forward to be meeting with you. 

Today we had our St. Patrick's Day assembly and enjoyed singing all our St. Patrick day songs!!!!  While we were at assembly  a leprechaun stopped by the P2 classroom and caused a little havoc in our class...  it made quite a bit of excitement for the children...it was fun day for all!!!  Tomorrow we will be making Irish Potatoes... Yum!

We are all enjoying this beautiful weather!!!!!

Dear Parents,

    P2 is getting ready for the holidays!!  They have been making cards for our Veterans, singing holiday songs and learning many interesting facts about the country, Germany.  They shared all they have learned at our Customs Around the World assembly.  Please ask your child to share with you what they learned!!  

    Many of the students are reading books and learning to write stories.  The younger students are busy learning their numbers and working on letter recognition and beginning sounds.  We look forward to watching them continue to develop new skills in the New Year.  This past month, the children have been enjoying listening to the "Brite Music - Happiness Stories..." where they are learning about the joy of giving. 

    Best wishes for a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!
