Nursery 1-Welcome To Home Of The Little Scholars!
-
Dear Families,
How busy the Little Scholars have been! This week, we shared information about ourselves. We played games to learn each other's names and we discussed our favorite colors. In the art center, the children created hand and footprint pictures and decorated their names with colorful dots. We even made a graph that illustrates what our favorite colors are. The children continue to be enchanted with our new friend "Maisy". We have been enjoying her adventures at storytime.
Some considerations:
Nursery children enjoy two specials-Gym on Tuesdays--please wear sneakers!
Music on Thursdays.
Show and Tell will begin on Wednesday, September 18th. Please send in something that will correspond to the color/shape of the week. This week we will study the color red and explore the infinite circle.
Please refer to the handout in the Welcome Packet that states the safety rules of Valet. Valet will begin on Monday, September 16th.
Please join my Remind 101 Class. Kindly refer to the code given out at the Orientation.
A Little Glimpse:
Nursery Themes For The Month Of September:
Week one-Introduction To School
Week two-Let Me Introduce Myself....All About Me!
Week three-Getting To Know Each Other/Friendship
Week four-Welcome Fall! Let's learn all about Apples!
Next week, the children will:
*Begin our color/shape study with the color red. We will also observe the properties of the infinite circle.
*Discuss what it means to be a good friend. We will make our classroom rules. The children will "sign" the declaration with their handprints. Our first Scholastic magazine will help us remember how to be a good listener and friend in school.
*Decorate pictures of ourselves and compile them into a class book. When published, the book will go home with the Helper of the Day each day to enjoy for one evening. Each day a new friend will take home the book.
*Plant friendship seeds in individual cups and in our class garden. We will care for our seeds together and coax them gently to grow. (Just like we do for one another!)
*Practice our prayers, The Pledge of Alligence and God Bless America.
*Continue to practice some very important procedures: walking on a line, walking carefully on the stairs, helping each other at clean up time and sitting quietly for a story.
*Learn how to be good friends by sharing and caring for one another.
*Have loads and loads of fun!
Here are the prayers we say everyday if you would like to practice them at home:
Morning Offering:
Thank you, Jesus, for this day.
Help us as we work and pray. Amen
Grace Before Meals:
Thank you for the food we eat,
Thank you for the friends we meet.
Thank you for the golden sun,
The trees, the birds and everyone!
Goodbye Song:
Friends I will remember you.
Think of you and pray for you.
And when another day is through,
I will remember you.
Enjoy your weekend, and God bless you all!
Ms. Pellettiere
A Teacher's Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Let them see You, in me.
Let them hear You, when I speak.
Let me fee You, when I sing,
Let them see You, in me.
Amen
