Our Nursery class went on a nature walk looking for leaves, pine cones, acorns and such on our way to the park. The children had so much fun! We continued our discussion about the fall and the chages that happen during this time. Our friends made a picure dipicting what they like to do in the fall.

 

We spent some time talking about getting bigger beause it was Michelle's birthday. The children mades cards for her and we even mad cupcakes! Her mother and father came in for a birthday party and it was lots of fun. We want to thank them for the present that they bought from our wish list for the children to use in our classroom. They already started using it and like it a lot.

Another thing we have been spending a great deal of time in our class is talking about using our words. The children are at an age where it can be diffucult to express themselves especially in a hard and frustrating situatiosn. We encourage them to use their words and not hurt their friends. We have read many books, acted different situations out, and even sang songs about this. It is something we feel is extrememly important and would like the help of those at home to constantly go over this with your child. We want them to see that we are all on the same page and are working together to get this accomplished.

Today we started our new topic called 'All about me'. We are starting off by letting each chid know that they are each a unique and special individual and they are very important. We read a book about twins and how they might be similair in some ways, they are still different and special as individuals. We even got to use our own friends Rebecca and Rachel as examples because they are twins. The children saw some similairities but also got to talk about the differences too. Our clas made a project to go along with our topic today.
