Dear Nursery Parents,                                                                                        January 27, 2020
     This week,our faith program, "Stories of God's Love" focuses our attention on how we can help take care of the world that God has made for us. We will complete a leaflet page, identifying pictures that show we take care of our environment. We will apply this idea to our own classroom while packing up our snack and placing plastic water bottles in a re-cycle bin.

       We continue to learn our geometic shapes. Last week we practiced drawing the circle shape. This week we will identify square shapes in our classroom, and in our homes. The children will be able to find a square shape from home and bring it into school. We will identify its' attributes.

     Our Nursery Authors are preparing to write their second book!  We will begin working on our Number Book this week. The children will discuss why it is important to have numbers. I am anxious to hear the responses to this question. They will be published in our "Nursery Smarts" section at the bottom of this web page. Our first book, Our Color Book, is complete and will be sent home.

      Science is all around us.  We will have the opportunity to read about polar animals and how God protects them in their environment. A class mural with the theme; "Can You Find Us?" will present animals hidden in a snow picture. Along with this lesson, we will observe a polar bear LIVE using National Geographic Technology and our very own SmartBoard.
       KidsDay will take place on Thursday, January 30th. Mrs. Shanley and I will have some special activites planned for our special Nursery children during the day. Please have your child wear something blue or white, or both colors. These are our school colors and we would like to show our school spirit!
We look forward to a week of learning!
