What we are learning?

Dear Parents,
 We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week children will enjoy being little athletes and discover interesting things about the Olympics games. Our goal is to encourage students to continue developing important values such as friendship, teamwork, solidarity and respect.
 We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through experiences. Children will remove and put objects into a container, they will enjoy story time, draw strokes on paper and practicing on jumping obstacles, etc.
 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 Natalia
