Room 2 is a 6:1:2 integrated classroom with students ages two to three years of age. Throughout the school day, we focus on developing social skills, building attention spans, developing play skills, and working on our communication skills. We participate in group activities and individual instruction. Group activities include morning and afternoon meetings, play group, centers/ sensory activities, art, music, gym, and a healthy eating group. Learning how to play with a variety of classroom toys and how to play next to or with a peer is an essential part of our school day. Our individual instruction times focus on each program student’s individual needs in a 1:1 setting. In Room 2 we have fun learning all day long!

2/13/26 – Standing Tall & Coloring Hearts
Look at all the excitement in Room 2! The day before break is always a great excuse to have fun activities. Building blocks and coloring is how Room 2 celebrated! These cheery kids were building blocks so high, some were almost as tall as them! Then they all sat together and made beautiful, colorful hearts. Seeing our students peacefully sitting side by side warms our hearts! And it looks like they were in the Valentine’s Day spirit, too! Way to go, Room 2!
1/27/26 - Music Class!
Look at Room 2 busy making tunes! With the help of our amazing staff, these kids are learning to express themselves creatively while practicing important communication skills. We love seeing our students take interest in the arts and working side by side with their peers. Great job R2!
A visit from SANTA! 12.19.25
We were so fortunate to have a visit from Santa and Elf! With a gift for each child, they gave everyone a chance to sit on Santa’s lap and hear a joyful Ho, Ho, Ho!
We’re thankful to Steve Oill, Diane Rusch for their roles! We also appreciate Toys for Tots Capital Region for the amazing help they gave Santa, and Samantha Bailey Photography for her fundraiser for Crossroads by taking orders for photos with Santa!
12/1/2025 A Visit from Moonbeam and Carol
As part of our Giving Tuesday celebration, we were thrilled by a visit from Moonbeam, a flat-coat lab, and Carol, her owner.
Moonbeam, aged four, is certified as a Therapy Dog by Therapy Dogs International, and her training shows. Gentle and sweet, she loves children, and our students responded with delight to her kisses and wagging tail.
This was our first visiting pet this year and we can’t wait to see Moonbeam and Carol again, soon.
10.9.25 Fire Safety Fun!
On Tuesday, we had a special visit from our local PINE GROVE Fire department! Firefighters showed our students their gear, equipment, and trucks, helping everyone learn what to do in case of an emergency. The kids were fascinated watching the firefighters put on their uniforms and loved getting a chance to touch the equipment and even explore the fire truck up close!
These hands-on experiences not only teach important safety skills, but also help our students feel more comfortable and confident around community helpers. It’s especially important for children in case of a real emergency to not feel afraid of the firefighters in their big equipment. A big thank-you to our local heroes for making learning so exciting!
Room 2 Morning Circle
The day in Room 2 kicks off with smiles and music! During morning circle, Mrs. Sarajni plays a fun and upbeat good morning song, and students join together to sing and start their day off to a great start.
Storytime in the Library 7-30-25
Our class got to enjoy a read-aloud in the library with Chris today! He read two fun books, and the children got great practice sitting, listening, and engaging with a story. C made it extra interactive by inviting everyone up to see the pictures more closely. We’re so grateful for volunteers who bring stories to life!
7.29.25 Move it!
In Room 2, students had a great time practicing ball skills and crawling through a tunnel during class! These fun activities are more than just play — they help strengthen key muscle groups. Rolling, kicking, and hitting balls support coordination and build upper body strength, especially in the shoulders and arms. Crawling through the tunnel helps develop core muscles, as well as strength in the legs and arms. Way to go, Room 2, for building strong bodies through movement and play!
Quiet Reading Time in Room 2 7.14.25
In Room 2, our 2–3-year-olds are enjoying some peaceful time with books. They’re turning pages, pointing to pictures, and simply holding a favorite story, skills all important for developing important early literacy skills. It’s a joy to see such young children so engaged with reading in their own way!
