Nursery B

Dear Nursery B Families,

It was a busy and exciting week of baking and feasting in Nursery B! Our Friendsgiving gathering was a resounding success, filled with joy and community spirit. The children were thrilled to welcome Nursery A into our classroom, making the event even more special.

Our little bakers eagerly embraced the process of creating delicious treats. They measured, poured, cracked eggs, and stirred batters—all while engaging in activities that promote learning and growth. Together, we baked pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, and pumpkin pies. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed donated items—it made this experience truly memorable for the children!

This week, we reflected on friendship and explored what it means to be a good friend. The children shared many thoughtful and heartwarming ideas. We also read I Walked With Vanessa and A Friend Like You, which sparked engaging conversations. The children thoughtfully discussed ways they could be allies and stand up for their friends, showing their kindness and empathy.

Our Letter of the Week activity continues to grow with enthusiasm! This week, we focused on the letter E. The children practiced its formation and learned its initial sounds. A highlight of the activity was using various emojis to form the letter E while naming the different emotions they represented—it was both educational and fun!

We have also begun discussing what it means to be thankful, a topic we will explore further in the coming days. Additionally, we’ve started learning about Native Americans and their rich heritage. The children are quickly learning two new songs: We All Sing With the Same Voice and The Earth Is Our Mother, both of which beautifully tie into our themes of gratitude and unity.

We celebrated Wesley’s 4th birthday! Happy birthday Wesley!

Finally, thank you for your prompt responses to the Family Share sign-up! Your continued support is greatly appreciated and helps make these experiences so meaningful for the children.
