Dear Nursery Parents,

     Thank you for helping to make the last three weeks of school fun and a positive experience for your child. We are all settling in to a routine and getting to know each other.
      This week, your children will create a pumpkin farm in our very own classroom. We will design paper pumpkins and add to the farm with classroom toys such as tractors, trucks, scarecrows and farmers.This experience will help our Nursery students expand their vocabulary and encourage imaginary play.
       Science lessons will include mixing colors, red and yellow, to create pumpkin faces. Scarecrow faces will adorn our classroom door toward the end of the week. A few of the children have been telling of their experiences picking apples. Please have your child bring to school one peeled and sliced apple for WEDNESDAY. We will be making applesauce in our classroom. Thank you in advance. Last week, the color orange gave us much to explore. We cut an orange in half and sqeezed out the juice. Each child had a taste. We peeled an orange, and counted the slices inside. We had a math lesson during this activity!
         The children are praying morning prayers, before snack prayers, and before we depart for home.They are learning how to bless themselves, and go to a quiet place in their hearts during prayer.
They are learning quickly and appear to enjoy participating in the learning process.
         Please be reminded; If you have gift cards or items you wish to donate for our SEAS Auction on October 21st, they will be due on Monday, October 3rd. Also we will have an early dismissal on Thursday, October 6th. Dismissal will be 10:50am. Pick up will be on Bedford Avenue in the big play yard. Buses park on Washington Avenue when SEAS has a 1/2 day dismissal. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. We look forward to a fun week of learning.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jane Cappiello
