🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Mariquitas Parents,

We continue with our theme for the month of March called “People and Music around the World”. This coming week we will learn everything about Africa. We will talk about music, their people, their traditions and culture.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills.

●      Children will play with toys and they will move them up and down and to the sides.  

●      Children will play as magicians to make objects appear and disappear.

●      Children will discover new toys from the surprise box.   

●      Children will look at pictures from different people around the world.

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,
