Nursery 1-Welcome To Home Of The Shining Stars!
-
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.

Dear Nursery Friends!
This week our theme will be Friendship-Getting to Know Each Other!
The children will discuss how to be kind to one another and we will come up with classroom rules. We will "sign" this friendship pledge with our handprints. We will also decorate pictures of ourselves and create a classroom mural. The children will end the week by planting "Friendship Seeds" in little pots. We will care for them tenderly to help them grow.
We will begin our Color/Shape study this week. We will study the color red and explore the infinite circle.
Don't forget to wear something red on Monday!
We also plan on playing outdoors so don't forget to apply sunscreen before school.
Looking Ahead:
Wednesday, September 30th-Individual School Pictures
