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.

Dear Families,
This week, the children learned about the American tradition of Groundhog Day. We learned all about groundhogs, hibernation and the meaning behind Groundhog Day. We graphed our predictions as to whether the groundhog would see his shadow. Alas, Puxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and now we have six more weeks of winter! It was fun to make groundhog hats and puppets.
The children also studied shadows and what we need to make shadows--a light source. We conducted many shadow experiments and made beautiful "shadow boxes" using natural objects we collected.
The children will also continue their Letter/Number study. We will study the letter I and the number 9.
Show and Tell will be on Wednesday. Please send in something that begins with the letter J.

Dear Lord,
Let them see You, in me.
Let them hear You, when I speak.

Let them see You, in me.
Amen
