Nursery 1-Welcome To Home Of The Busy Bees!
-
The Nursery program at Notre Dame harmoniously blends learning and fun! Throughout the year, Nursery students learn through hands-on, meaningful thematic units and experiences. Social skills are developed through peer interaction and modeling. Content areas are blended into the curriculum through fun and creative lesson planning.
In our faith-filled environment, Nursery children discover our Creator's great love for us. In our classroom, we learn how to extend the message of love and kindness to ourselves, our families and to one another.
Most of all, our classrooms are filled with laughter, kindness, learning, discovery, experimenting, smiles and personal growth and development.
Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding our wonderful early childhood program.

Dearest Families,
The children have been studing the life cycle of a butterfly. The children learned the stages of growth and development-the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and adult butterfly. Now our caterpillars are in the chrysalis stage! We are eagerly awaiting the emergence of the adult butterfly. It has been a blessing to be a witness to this miracle of God's goodness and love. He so loves to delight us!
Last week, the children studied the parts of the flower. We germinated seeds in 3 different ways--in soil, in cotton balls and in a special window greenhouse we created. Now the children tend to the seeds carefully, watering them and placing them in God's nourishing sunlight.
Letter/Number News:
The children will continue with their letter study. We will study the letter W. We will also add two more pages to our new number book. We are getting so good at counting and recognizing numbers.
