Welcome to Nursery 3!

Hello! Welcome to the Nursery Blog.

Here you will find pictures and weekly information about what is going on in our classroom.

September is about learning the ropes, meeting new friends, and settling into a new routine.

We have begun to learn some of our Montessori materials. We have worked really hard and are so excited to accomplish new things!

Practical Life Work

Learning to take care of our work mats.

"Pinch and Roll"

Outside Play

We will go outside everyday weather permitting. Please make sure your child is wearing sneakers and appropriate clothing.

Scholastic Books order forms went home this week.

If you would like to order books you may do so by filling out the form and sending it back to school OR you may order online using our class code which can be found on the back of the order form. Orders due by September 18th.

We visited the HCA Library this week. Each cycle we will visit the library to read a story and take books out for our classroom. Library books will not be sent home.

Play Dough is a really great exercise to strengthen a child's pincer grasp and fine motor skills. We used the play dough to roll, pinch and twist it into silly faces.

In Nursery 3 we are a family. We take care of ourselves, our classroom and our friends. We signed our "Class Contract" stating that we will do just that.

Last blog of the school year!

Dear Parents,

Can you believe the school year is coming to an end? I sure can not! I give you back your child, the same child that you entrusted to me in the Fall. I give you your child back a little bit older, a little bit taller and whole lot smarter! It has been my privilege and pleasure to watch them blossom and learn this year (for some two years:-). This year we have laughed, learned and loved. We have become like a family. Thank you for sharing your child with me this school year!

Our last Community Time of the school year.

Community time is an an activity that we loved this year. We looked forward to being with our "families" and all the activities we did throughout the school year. For our final activity, each child received a Holy Child beach ball that their family members could sign.
