State Float Fun

We hope that you have heard A LOT of talk about "states" lately!  Your child researched a state and designed a float that helped them share their knowledge.  The floats came home with 2A yesterday.  If you did not have the opportunity to see your child present, we encourage you to ask them about it.  They all put a lot of time and effort in to this project -- and it showed!  We were thoroughly impressed with their efforts!  Way to go, 2A Fireworks!

Star of the Week, Alivia

Alivia was our last February Star of the Week.  Our 2A friends enjoyed learning about our music and craft loving friend!  

Happy 1/2 Birthday, Julia!

We celebrated Julia's August 16th birthday today with her parents! We enjoyed the book The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by William Joyce and some colorful cupcakes!

We hope you had a wonderful birthday celebration, Julia!

Happy Birthday, Alivia! | Star of the Week, Mikey

2A Families: It is always a pleasure to learn about our Stars of the Week!  This week our star was our sports fanatic, Mikey!

We also celebrated a birthday this month.  Alivia constructed an alligator cake out of cupcakes!  You could tell 2A loved it by their green lips.  Alivia's mother shared a book with our class called The Duck Who Lost His Quack by Fred Welch.  Happy birthday, Alivia!

Happy Birthday, Ria (in January) | Star of the Week, Julia

Dear 2A Families,

With all the cold and snow days we have had this wacky winter, we are beginning to play catch up on our blog.  We were very excited to celebrate Miss Julia as our Star of the Week.  Her mother stopped in to read us a book about toys that came to life!

We also celebrated Ria's birthday with her mother and mini-chocolate cakes!  They were delicious!  Ria's mother brought in a book for Ria to read to the class.  Happy birthday, Ria!

Star of the Week: Emma

Emma was our Star of the Week the week before we went on winter break!  We enjoyed her baby pictures and new interesting facts about her.

Happy Birthday, Julius | Morning Message at Assembly | St. Nicholas Day with Noah's Father

Julius' birthday falls on our winter break.  We were lucky enough to celebrate an early birthday with he and his parents!  We hope that you have an outstanding birthday, Julius!

We also had two 2A friends share our Morning Message in Assembly today.  Dominic and Julia talked to the Lower School about "colorful food choices."  Our class ALL raised their hands for eating a fruit or a vegetable during lunch this week, drinking water or milk at every lunch and making good, colorful snack choices after school.  We are encouraging healthy choices at our lunch table with the Spot Light Program which talks about variety and moderation.

We have been lucky enough to have some of our Firework Families share their family traditions with us this year.  Noah's father was in to share about their German Heritage and St. Nicholas Day!  We really enjoyed his visit to our classroom -- and the German chocolate treats that he brought for us!
