N-7 Mrs. O'Gara

- Welcome to Nursery!
  
  In our Nursery class at Saint Aidan, the students will experience learning in a safe, loving, child-centered environment, based on Catholic values. The program aims to develop readiness skills, social interaction, a love of learning, and compassion for others. The children will be introduced to parental separation, learning our class routines, songs, making friends, sharing, art projects, and listening to stories. Our day also includes music and movement, free play, prayer, and activities that develop both fine and gross motor skills. As the year progresses, the children will work on recognizing their printed name, letters, colors, shapes, and numbers. Catholic values are incorporated into our curriculum through books, daily prayer, celebration, and discussion of holidays.

- January 26, 2023
- Here is the special helper collecting the name tags and holding the flag.
- There are some days when our day doesn't go exactly as expected and we have to change our routine around. Today was one of those days, and the special helper was very patient when his turn doing the "jobs" got cut short during music class. We promised him another turn on Tuesday though! Being the special helper is a very big deal to the children.
- We made snowmen at craft time. Everyone liked being able to choose their own pieces, but the children's favorite part was definitely the button box. They sorted them, poured them back and forth into cups, and found every last one with sparkles!
- Some play time silliness!
- A very realistic (and long) phone conversation in the kitchen. So cute!

- We are working on the letter G this week, so our book today was, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff." We used props to act it out. We didn't have an old troll, so we used Oscar the Grouch since grouch is a G word. We changed the ending a bit, and they all became good friends!
- Playtime fun today. We added a large bag of animals to the classroom and the children loved them. At clean up, we noticed this set up.The children love to sort and organize even when they play. So interesting!

- Today, we read the book "Big Pumpkin" by Erica Silverman. The children loved the characters!
- One of the best, and most important parts of the Nursery day is free play. That is also the time when we work on a craft.

When they sit down to do a craft it is a chance for them to have one on one time with us. Free play is fun!

- We learned about magnets this week. We learned how they work, and then we experimented to see all of the interesting things we can do with them. The children spent so much time on this activity. They were fascinated.
- This group loves play-doh time. They especially love to take out the trays when we are doing play-doh, and pretend that they are making food. They even clear out oven space for one another in the play kitchen. The cookie cutters are their favorite. We put on relaxing music and the time goes by so quickly. There is a lot of sweet conversation that takes place during play-doh time.

Here we are painting the first part of our Chinese New Year dragon puppets.

Some play-doh time on a quiet afternoon.
Have a great weekend!

We had a great week! The children are really learning the classroom routines quickly.
Next week we will continue with our apple theme, we will talk about the new season, and begin work on the alphabet. I hope you all have a great weekend.
I will see you on Tuesday!

We had so much fun making our snowkids!
We took great care in placing the arms just right. Some snowkids were dancing, some waving and some holding another's hand.

When you need rocks to fill up your dump truck and you improvise!

Our dinosaurs are very loved! Here the children are sorting them out

Next week we will be working on the letter G.
We are practicing Christmas songs and the children are loving it.
Our classroom is getting a Christmas makeover with the children's art. It is so cheerful!

Have a wonderful weekend!
