FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE Brian Haupt The three year old nursery is the foundation for many young Berkeley Hallers. Here these young students learn the most important lessons of their lives. During this year their character is molded. They learn honesty, courtesy, obedience, and love toward one another. For ex- ample, generosity is learned by giving the class a present on their birthdays instead of receiving gifts. Often toys are brought in the morning to share with their classmates. The artists fashioning our future scholars are Miss Giles and Mrs. Crandell. Mrs. Owen, who is in charge of the combined nurseries, add a harmonious touch with the music. The young students follow this vigor- ous schedule: :l5 - 8:20 Gates open CD 8:20 - 8:50 Play on porch 8:55 - 9:15 Music 9:15 - 9:25 Assembly 9:25 - 9:40 Juice 9:40 -10:30 Free play, construc- tive art. 10:30 -10:55 Clean up, books, stories 10.55 -ll:l5 Rest and music ll:l5 -ll:45 Lunch 1l:M5 - 2:30 Naps 2:30 - 2:45 Put on shoes - comb hair 2: - 2:55 Milk and crackers 2 3 15 45 55- : heephy 3:15 - Bell rings 3:20 - Listen to stories until ride comes. The three year olds have many inter- esting activities during the day, from building castles in the sand to taking naps. Traffic laws new and old are learned by tricyclers. In the yard they have a merry-go-round, jungle gym, and many other exciting toys. They have extra activities such as making hats for George washington's Birthday.
