  • Welcome to Mrs. Wakely's Class N-3

    • Our goal for this year is to teach your children readiness skills that will be the stepping stone for their future years in school.  Nursery is an important year as they are experiencing many new things for the first time.  For some, it will be learning to separate from you.  We will be learning socialization skills, making friends, sharing, and understanding routines, all in a child-centered environment.  Children will explore through free play, story time, music and art, and movement.  They will also learn to recognize letters, numbers, shapes and colors as the year progresses.  We are fortunate to be doing all of this while incorporating our Catholic values and prayer.

      This will be a wonderful experience for your child and I am excited to watch them grow.  Together, let's make this a terrific year!

    • Week of 1/11-1/15

      We had fun learning about the letter J. We spent a lot of time this week practicing the correct grip "thumb, pointer, tall man...pinch, pinch, pinch" and using our "helping hand" to hold down our papers.  It was also fun picking out colors to color in our jelly beans!

  •  Happy New Year!  

    •                 Week of 1/4-1/8

      I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and was able to enjoy some precious time together.  The children came in and were ready to get right back to work!  We used water colors to paint a New Year's sign.  We learned the Letter I and made Insects and Igloos.  

    • The children also had fun using the balance beams and scooters.  We are ready to continue growing and learning in 2021!

  • Week of 12/14-12/18

    •  

      It was a super fun and busy week!  We enjoyed participating in the Lower School tree lighting ceremony led by Father Adrian (aka The Camel).  We have been making more Christmas crafts and are anxiously awaiting the birth of baby Jesus!

    •               Week of 12/7-12/11

      This week we continued with the Letter H.  We made Santa's Hat!  We used tissue paper and pulled apart some cotton balls.  This helped us with our fine motor skills.  We were also very busy making lots of Christmas decorations.  (Some haven't been sent home yet because they will be a surprise for our families.)  We also painted green triangles which made us think of Christmas trees!

  • Week of 11/30-12/4

    • The first week of Advent is upon us and the children made their own Advent wreaths.

    • We started the letter H and read Hide and Seek Hippo.  We think he was hiding in the house!

    • One of the children's favorite activities this week was listening to the Gingerbread Man and then making their own.  They love to chant along:
      "Run, run, as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man!"

  • 11/16-11/25

    •                     Thanksgiving!

      We have been busy getting ready for Thanksgiving.  We read lots of fun stories, made some turkey crafts, and of course, talked about we are thankful for.  

    •              Letter of the week!

      We also learned about the letter G.  Goldilocks, gum, gorillas, grapes, God and giving are some of our favorite "G" words.  

    •                  Blessed!

      We love when Father Adrian comes to visit us. He always puts a smile on our face with his funny jokes and kind words.  

  •  Week of 11/9-11/13
    We learned about the letter F! 

  •  We started sponge painting the feathers on our turkeys. 

  •  We enjoyed a perfect day on the playground!

  • 11/2 and 11/4 (no school Friday, 11/6)

    • E if for Egg!  We learned about the letter E. 
      We also read Elmer the Elephant and learned that Elmer was happy that he looked different from the other elephants.  We made our own patchwork elephants!

    •             Fall Sensory/Sorting Bin

      The children had fun looking for different fall items in the bin.  They had to plan which tool would be best to use and then place it on the correct picture.  Then they had fun touching all the different items!

    •               Week of 10/26-10/30

      What a great week in N-3!

      We had lots of Halloween fun, including a trip to our very own Pumpkin Patch! 
      We also learned about the letter D and found lots of D words.  
       

    •                 Week of 10/19-10/23



      We read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and continued learning about the letter C.  We stamped some "chocolate chips" on the letter C.  
      We also are having fun learning the song "Five Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Gate". We made our own pumpkins sitting on a gate and decorated their faces.  

    • The Williston Park Fire Department Visited Us on Friday

      They taught us about Fire Safety and showed what is on their fire trucks.  We even got to ring the bell!  They gave us our own fire hats and flashlights!
       

    •       October birthdays

      Happy Birthday Finn!

    • Week of 10/12-10/16
      We continued learning about Autumn and used QTips to paint leaves on our fall trees. We also painted leaves with water colors.
      We started learning about the Letter C.  We read Cookie's Week and made our very own Cookie the Cat!
       

    • Week of 10/5-10/9

      The letter B is here!  We read The Bear Came Over to My House and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?  We also learned that B is for Bus.  We did a fine motor skills activity in which the children had to rip contruction paper into pieces and glue it onto their bus.  
      We also know that Autumn is here!  We talked about the changing colors we see on the trees and made our own Fall Trees.  We read Mouse's First Fall. We also painted with water colors.   

    •              Week of 9/28-10/2

      Apple sorting, the color red with some help from our friend Clifford the Big Red Dog, and painting red circles!
      It was a busy week in N-3!
       

    •                 Week of 9/21-9/25

      A is for Alligator and Apples!
      We learned the first letter of the alphabet and made an Alligator craft. 
      September is the perfect time to learn about apples!  We are reading lots of books about apples and apple picking.  We made our own apple trees using stamps and red paint.  We love singing along to the song "Way Up High in the Apple Tree" and counting up to 5.  

  • Our September Birthdays!

    •                                                    Welcome To School!  

      Our first day September 14, 2020

    • Our First Week

      We played and explored the classroom.  We are getting to know our new friends.  We had fun with play-doh and our toys.

    •                                             We had fun on the playground!

    • We took turns looking in a mirror to see what color our hair and eyes are.  We saw how we are all different and all special!

    •                         The Farm

      This week we learned all about the farm.  We learned about the animals and what they look like, the sounds they make and what they eat.  We also learned about what they give us.    
      We picked our favorite farm animal and played "Guess Who is in the Barn?"  The children gave clues and the others had to guess the animal hiding behind the barn doors.  We also took a "trip" to visit a farm and got to see the animals in action!  We will also work on our gross motor skills and act like the animals.  



    • Our virtual Memorial Day Celebration!
      Some of the children wore red, white and blue to our Zoom meeting.  We sang a song about Memorial Day and how we should remember and thank our soldiers.  We made flags that we can hang on our doors.  

  • Our Unit on The Very Hungry Caterpillar

    •          Happy Mother's Day!

      Wishing all the moms a very Happy Mother's Day.  This year you not only have the role of mom, but also teacher!  I thank you all for the support you have given as we moved toward remote learning.  I love seeing the children during our Zoom meetings and I couldn't do it without all of your help. Enjoy your special day! xoxo

    • This week we are learning more about Spring!  We are learning all about the parts of a flower.  We also learned that V is for Vase to put the beautiful spring flowers in.  

    •             Community Helpers

      We learned all about the special people that help keep our community safe.  We picked our favorite community helper and had a puppet show on Zoom!  It was so much fun.  

    •                    This week we are learning about the Letter U.  U is for Umbrella.

                                     We also made our own weather charts so we can keep track of the weather from home!

  • Learning About Earth Day and the Letter T!

    •                          Look at what some of our friends are doing at home!

                                                                   Keep sending in those wonderful pictures!

    •                    Nursery News

               Everyone is doing such a great job with their crafts and projects.  I love getting all the pictures!  As per my email, I hope you were all able to get onto Starfall.com as it is a wonderful resource for the children.  Stay tuned for my video messages every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in which we can say our morning prayer together and sing our good morning song.  It will also show you the craft for the day! 
           Please continue to reach out with anything you need and keep those pictures coming!  I love seeing all of your beautiful children.  They make me smile.  
           A great read aloud that you can find on youtube is When Spring Comes, by Kevin Henkes, and a terrific spring song to learn is Spring is Here by the Learning Station.  
           Don't forget some easy songs to sing with them:
      There are 7 days, there are 7 days, there are 7 days in a week.
      Sunday, Monday,
      Tuesday, Wednesday,
      Thursday, Friday,
      Saturday.


      They also know the months of the year song:

      January, February, March and April,
      May...June...July and August,
      September, October, November and December,
      These are the months of the year.


       
    •                     Happy St. Patrick's Day from some our our Little Leprechauns

    •                                                     Ash Wednesday

      Thank you Mrs. O'Connell for coming in and giving us ashes.  The children learned that this is the beginning of Lent which helps us prepare for Easter.  

    •                                  We love when Father Adrian comes to visit!

      The children enjoy spending time with Father Adrian.  They love doing puzzles with him and showing him our birthday calendar.  They were all telling him when their birthdays are.
