Little Athletes.

Blog Title: Summer Camp

Week: August 1st to August 5th, 2016

🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Mariquitas Parents,

We are getting down to the last few weeks of Summer Camp! This week we will learn to be Little Athletes. We will continue creating safe learning environments that offer the children the opportunity to explore sports. We have scheduled exciting learning activities that will allow us to continue strengthening motor, cognitive-sensory and language skills. One of them is the Olympics Parade at Sff! Children will see everyone wearing sport clothing. Children will play with ice cubes so they can feel cold sensations and they will exercise.

Thank you once again for all your support and for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life.

Best Regards,

Miss Mónica
