Mrs. Cozzi

My name is Jody Cozzi, and my family has lived in Mascoutah since 2011. My family loves Mascoutah so much that my husband retired from the AF, and we continue to live in this fabulous community! I have been teaching 3 yr old Preschool at HCS since 2013.  I have four children Melanie, Cas, Avery, and Leo.  All four graduated from HCS. Melanie is a Nurse in Denver, Cas is in fourth year Seminary, and Avery is a Sophomore at Benedictine College, and Leo is a Sophomore at MHS. Also a part of our family is Dixie, our 9 yr old dog. I feel so very blessed to teach at HCS! Students are incredible and there’s no place I’d rather be!

We are learning all about being in Preschool! It takes hard work to learn so many new things, but with these smart children, it’ll be a breeze!

Here’s what we practice everyday:

  • Walking in a straight line-following the person in front of us
  • Names of friends in class
  • Listening during story time, circle and calendar time
  • Sharing with our friends
  • Keeping our hands to ourselves

Our themes for the school year:

  • Sept-Oct: Family
  • Nov-Dec: Down on the Farm
  • Jan-Feb: Community Helpers
  • Mar-Apr: Baby Animals
  • May: Mother’s Day/Father’s Day; Wrapping Things Up!

Here’s what we are focusing on all year:

  • Number Recognition (1-10)
  • Uppercase Recognition (Review of letters)
  • Colors and Shapes (Review of shapes/colors)
  • Writing our names (please also work on this at home)
  • Fine Motor and Gross Motor Skills
  • How to hold our pencils, crayons, scissors, and markers (also work on this at home)
