Dear Nursery Parents,

      Welcome to the month of May!! We have experienced a wonderful "New Life" prayer service and activity 
day this past Thursday. We hope all had a good time painting flower pots, building the parts of a plant, coloring eggs, and putting together the puzzle; "Butterfly Stages". The best part of the day was being able to share these activities with so many parents, grandparents, caregivers, and course, our students!
       Please join us for the SEAS Walk-a-Thon which takes place this week on May 19th in the big playground at approximately 10:25 am. The Nursery students will walk around the parking lot 2x. Please help us to walk in the path of Jesus and raise money for SEAS student Faith Formation classes.
       Field Day is just around the corner. May 25th is our big day! Our students will participate in outdoor activities planned by Mr. Larke and carried out by the Nursery teachers.  We will wear the color green showing off the Nursery Family of students. We are looking forward to a fun and exciting morning. Parents are invited to join as enthusiastic spectators.
       The Nursery students will have an End-of-the-Year celebration and prayer service on June 9th, at 9:45 am in the Thomas Reynold's Gymnasium, at SEAS. We look forward to showing all a few of the lessons we have learned during the school year.
      Our children have become great authors over the last few months. Families have received a "Shape" book, an "Animals in My Neighborhood" book, a "Color" book and a "Taking Care of My Teeth" book. We are working on a "Weather" book and a "Number" book. The children have begun to author class stories. We are working to understand "beginning, middle, and ending" of stories.
     The science of our world is happening right outside our windows. We have noticed the beautiful trees blooming. First the buds. Then the flowers, and finally, some of the leaves have taken the flowers place. God has given us so many gifts. We are fortunate to live in such an orderly world. We will be sharing ways we can take care of our world throughout the month of May including, taking care of our classroom butterflies.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Cappiello and the Nursery Teachers
