St. Paul Nursery School Family Newsletter
November 2024
 
 

     Hello and welcome to the Holiday Season!  We are just getting back from Thanksgiving break and all too quickly the next holiday is upon us! We are getting our next lessons rolling as well as preparing our hearts for celebrating the birth of Jesus!
The month of November allowed Miss Jennifer to teach the kiddos about letters F, G, and H.  We learned how to form both upper and lower cases as well as the sound each letter makes.  Our craft projects included frogs, fish, grapes, Bark George, hens, hedgehogs, and horses.  We also did a Thanksgiving project with a hand print feathered turkey.  We hope you had a great holiday!  We have so much to be thankful for!!

     For Bible story time, I reinforced letter F with the story of Noah and the flood.  Noah listened to God, built a big, wooden boat that saved him, his family, and all those animals.  The rainbow in the sky reminds us to always keep God in our heart and He promises to never flood the Earth again.  Letter G week was a great time to think more about God.  How do we talk to God?  (Text, email, US Mail?)  Ask your little one, he’ll know!!  We learned that praying is how we talk to God and we put our hands (letter H) together to talk to God.  There are 3 different ways to fold our hands.  Do you know them?  Again, check with your child, he’ll remind you!!
