The Nursery children are off to a great start.   I am looking forward to a wonderful year with your child.  Last week we had fun learning about the color green and we made green by mixing yellow and blue food coloring.  The children were introduced to the letter E and used their fine motor skills in ripping paper to make a candy corn craft for our hallway decorations.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Thursday, October 29 children can wear Halloween shirts, hair bows, socks etc. if they would like.  We will not be celebrating a special color today, but will appreciate Halloween colors, like orange, yellow, black etc.

The Week of October 26
This week we will continue our alphabet study, learning about the letter Ff.  The children will watch the Learn and Turn video on the letter Ff.  They seem to really enjoy guessing what Ff objects they will see.  Children will "dot" the letter F during play centers.  We will read our Alphatales story, Fifi Ferret's Flute, exploring many things that begin with the letter Ff.   The children will listen to a Halloween ABC song and we will read some Halloween stories this week, including Big Blue Truck's Halloween by Alice Schurtle and the children will participate in the story, guessing the animal character names that are dressed up,  as we read.  The children will receive a little Halloween "gift" on Thursday, that our class mom, Mrs. McNally,  has prepared for them.  We thank her in advance for doing this.

STAR OF THE WEEK:
In our AM class, Brendan will be our Star of the Week and Lexi will be our Star in the PM class.  We can not wait to learn more about our friends,  Brendan and Lexi.
