🔠 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 America. We will talk more about the Latin American countries where the teachers come from. We will talk about the languages that are spoken in the countries, music, their flag, their people, their traditions, culture and interesting places as well as their traditional food.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. This week the activities are oriented to the exploration and discovery of a new wonderful culture by participating in fun live experiences.

●      Children will hug their classmates.

●      Children will run in circles in the backyard.

●      Children will explore the family house.

●      Children will follow the color lines.

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,
