🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Mariquitas Parents,

This week we will start with a new theme called “Green Earth”. This particular week we will learn about nature and how to care for it. Currently there are environmental problems since our environment is constantly undergoing changes and alterations of various industrial causes. Therefore, it is important for children to get to know all the components and resources of the earth: rivers, volcanos, rocks, etc.  Children will also discover how to cultivate love for nature and how to care for it.

We have scheduled exciting and fun learning activities in regards to this theme that keep strengthening motor, cognitive/sensorial and language skills.  Children will learn through experiences so they can use their creativity and imagination.

●      Gross Motor Skills: We will place tapes on the floor of different colors and then have the children to walk over them.

●      Fine Motor Skills: Children will pass toys to one another.  

Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Best Regards,

🎵 Songs of the Week

Si los copos de nieve

fueran leche malteada

me encantaría estar ahí

abriendo la boca

para saborear

ahahahaha

si los copos de nieve

fueran leche malteada

me encantaría estar ahí

si los rayos de sol

fueran helado de chocolate

me encantaría estar ahí

abriendo la boca para saborear

ahahaha

si los rayos de sol

fueran helado de chocolate

me encantaría estar ahí.

si las gotas de lluvia

fueran de caramelo

abriendo la boca

para saborear

ahahahahaha

📚 Poems

Gota tras gota la lluvia te moja,

La lluvia se ríe y a veces se enoja,

La me canta y a veces me entretiene

Y gota tras gota se va como viene.

La lluvia me moja, me moja y salpica

La lluvia es mi amiga.

Que cosa más rica!

📚 Riddles

 Cae del cielo

 Y al tocarte

 No te libras de mojarte.
