We Are Waiting
 

Dear Nursery Parents,

Welcome to the Season of Advent. Advent is one of the most beautiful time of year. Advent is a season when we must learn to be patient as we wait for Jesus to be born on Christmas Day. It is also a peaceful season filled with hope and joy. During this season, our lessons will celebrate the anticipation of the coming of Jesus. What can we do to help our children patiently wait and prepare for Christmas?

Our faith program, Stories of God's Love, introduces us to the Bible Story "The Angel Tells Mary Wonderful News".  We will listen to the story together. One way to get ready for Christmas is to color a picture on our Advent calendar. We will complete a picture on our calendar each day to remind us that we are waiting for Jesus.

We continue to work on our color book. This week, we will add blue, green and purple pictures to our pages. We have been classifying colors by separating blocks and small colored paper shapes. This exercise is also a practice for our fine motor skills, listening to directions, and visual perception.

We will have the opportunity to trace different types of lines this week. We will use different mediums to do so. We will dot paint lines (straight, curvey) use crayons to trace lines and paint across lines. Each will have an interesting picture as a theme.

We have learned about a few woodland animals such as the squirrel. We know that a squirrel has two homes, one for the summer and another for winter. We know the squirrel lives inside the tree for the winter and that a squirrel never stops eating! We continue to learn about our Woodland animals and how they prepare for the Winter.

We look forward to a fun week of learning.
Rise to a New Adventure!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Cappiello
