Week 3: January 19-24

This week we began our unit on Food & Around the world.  We are working on identifying and verbalizing different foods by going on picnics, painting, playing matching game. Our class went on an outdoor picnic and read, Handa's Surprise by Eileen Browne, which gives us the opportunity to learn all about fruits! Here are some highlights of the week:

Hello from the new NB Nursery class! It has been a great first week of the year, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to meet my students and their families. My class of all boys are adjusting wonderfully as they familiarize themselves with Ascot and one another. This week in class we had Lucas, Porsche, Kiwi, and Focus. Here are some highlights from the week:
