Weekly Featured Theme: Gardening & Nature

🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Mariquitas Parents,

This week we will learn to be little gardeners and we will discuss about gardening, nature, trees and plants. We will continue creating safe learning environments that offer the children the opportunity to explore and experiment with nature. We have scheduled exciting learning activities that will allow us to continue strengthening motor and cognitive-sensory skills such as enjoying an outdoor walk where children will collect dry leaves and explore trees and plants in the park, playing to be little gardeners where children will learn how to nurture plants and they will visit their friends’ gardens, creating a collage with the dry leaves and participating in a camping day.

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 Eliana and Miss Martha

📄 Materials for Special Activities

🔆 Friendly Reminders

• Check your child’s cubby and make sure to take home on Fridays your child’s blanket for laundry and bring it back on Mondays.
• Bring extra diapers, wipes and diaper rash ointment/cream.
• Sunscreen and mosquito repellant are important to protect your child because he/she is very susceptible to sunburn/mosquito bites. Yet applying sunscreen and mosquito repellent to your child requires planning. If sunscreen and mosquito repellent must be applied to your child, make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when sunscreen and mosquito repellant should be applied and be sure to supply the sunscreen and mosquito repellant, label the bottles with your child's name and place them in a ziploc bag.
