Nursery's First Month at School
The Nursery children (and teachers!) are now into the school routine. Circle times are important and having
two smaller circles helps each child be more attentive and have their say in
conversations. We asked in circle ‘Why do we come to school?’ The replies are posted in the
corridor by Nursery. See HOME
CONNECTIONS for a song we sing each day to start out the circles. Children are helping each other in
little, important ways – moving over to make room on the carpet, putting away toys together.
Nursery is on their way to being a caring community.
Language Arts
The children ask questions and teachers ask questions. Some of the questions asked by children are:’ Where is Ms. Luana?’ ‘Where are you going?‘ and ‘Voglio capire se quella macchina ti porta a scuola o ti porta a casa?’ We teachers are asking the children what they like about school or if there is anything that they don’t like. A popular book this week in Nursery is ‘There’s a dragon at my School” .
AND there is now another a NEW book published by the Nursery class:
“My Nursery Friends” which is being sent home with a different child each day.
“My Nursery Friends” which is being sent home with a different child each day.
Besides drawing the children are VERY concentrated on cutting skills.
Maths
As the
children stick buttons on the outline of a number symbol (see photograph), they begin to count and share their number knowledge 'one, two, three, four’
'number 2' 'questo e’ one, questo e’ two, three, four’.
And the numbers get BIGGER and BIGGER
as the children are measured on a height chart. The children have been measured now, and then again we will see how much they have grown at the end of the school year.
