Blog Title: The Plants
Weekly Feature Theme: Growth and Function of the Plant
Week: April 10th, 2017 to April 14th, 2017
What we are learning?Dear
Parents,
We hope you are having a
beautiful week. This month our theme is “The Plants”. This coming week we will
learn everything about growth and function of the plant.
We have scheduled learning
activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor
skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Children will explore and discover
all about function of the plant and the growth stages. They will learn that the
plants need water, soil, sun, air and water to grow to beautiful healthy
plants.
Thank you for letting us play
such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great
weekend.
Miss Jeannette & Miss
