We Moved...into Summer on June 21

A thunderstorm couldn't stop the party to celebrate the arrival of summer!  We just moved indoors.  The children participated in our "move-a-thon"fundriaser by dancing, exercising, riding trikes and driving cars for more than 20 minutes.  Even parents got into motion.  After the movement, everyone enjoyed an indoor picnic.  Let the summer begin!  Pictures of the "move-a-thon"can be found at www.flicker.com/lutherandaynursery

Summer Solstice Party & Fundraiser

On June 21, 2013, we're "Moving Into Summer" with a summer solstice party and fundraiser.  Our children will be "moving" (running, jumping, hopping, dancing, etc) for up to 20 minutes and are seeking sponsors for their move-a-thon.  If you would like to support the event and help us raise funds for classroom materials, please make a donation at our web site: www.lutherandaynursery.org.  And everyone is welcome to join us for the party, starting at 5:30 pm. 

LDN's Got Talent

As a part of our celebration of the Week of the Young Child, our children took to the stage on April 16 to perform for their parents at our Annual Talent Show.  Check out the great pictures of the children in action--singing, dancing, jumping and telling jokes at www.flickr.com/lutherandaynursery.  We are so proud of them all!

New Play Spaces

The children in Room 2B are having fun with several new activity areas in their room.  Thanks to our partnership with Preschool For All, the children now have a teepee (a great place to read, pretend, and hide) and an indoor play area complete with a slide!  We also received two new reading chairs and a circle time rug.

Blessing Those in Need

Our 3 and 4 year olds collected 48 cans of non-perishable food to donate to a local food pantry during the month of November!  They drew labels for each can imprinted with the reminder that God loves everyone.  In addition, the children collected athletic socks and made snowpeople out of them.  They donated the socks to nursing home residents.  While they made the snowpeople, they learned about giving and helping people in need.  Paulette Bennett is the teacher, assisted by Jennifer Rimawi. 

Perfect Day for Pumpkins

Today, we experienced perfect weather for our annual trip to Johansen Farms in Bollingbrook, IL.  With temperatures in the upper 60's and plenty of sunshine, the children and numerous parents enjoyed a hayride, feeding the farm animals, riding in a train, sliding down an inflatable slide and picking out a pumpkin at the end of the trip.
