Nursery B

Dear Nursery B Families,

Thank you all for a truly wonderful and supportive school year!

Looking back, Ms. Denise and I couldn’t be prouder of our little ones. Their growth—socially, emotionally, and academically—was nothing short of remarkable. They kept us on our toes, made us laugh daily, and amazed us with their unique personalities and accomplishments.

One of the many highlights of our year was the children’s enthusiasm for our Letter of the Week activity. Each Tuesday brought wide-eyed excitement as they discovered a new letter. They eagerly shared related words and sounds, engaging in each activity with boundless curiosity and joyful energy.

Their excitement spilled over into our Bird Study unit as well. From observing birds in the park and playground to crafting detailed bird models, they engaged with each segment of the project with an infectious joy, eagerness, and a strong sense of ownership. Observing our three and four students utilizing the various formats to gather information and in turn convey the facts gathered was incredible, but we never doubt their potential.  

We wrapped up the school year with a week full of celebration and reflection. To our delight, the children remembered and shared memories of activities we ourselves had forgotten! Hearing what stood out to them was a touching reminder of how deeply they experience and internalize our days together.

And what a packed final week it was!

• A big thank-you to Ana and Meghan for organizing a sweet send-off: Nursery B Little Scoopers Day! Everyone enjoyed delicious homemade vanilla ice cream made right in our classroom.

• Protest Day was Amazing! Signs in hands, we marched around the block of our school and raised our voices in support of banned books.  Our focus book was,  We are Water Protectors. As we recapped the children were asked Why do we protest, and what does protest mean to them. Here is a collection of their thoughtful responses.

• We also squeezed in our “Fairness Snack” activity, aimed at encouraging children to advocate for themselves and understand fairness in everyday situations. Be sure to check out the video recordings.

• We planted flowers as part of our service learning project—a special thanks to Grammie Beth, Julian’s grandmother, for planting these now budding seeds with us on her previous visit.   

• We visited both Pre-K classrooms and met the teachers, helping to ease the transition for our soon-to-be Pre-Kers.

• The children clapped out their 4th grade buddies, and on Thursday, we proudly cheered for our very own as they stepped up as Pre-K students, followed by a well-deserved dance party in the yard!

We are so proud of each and every one of our Nursery B children, Thank you, families, for your kindness, trust, and partnership throughout the year. We wish you all a joyful, restful, and sunny summer break.
