 What we are learning?Dear Parents,
 We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week the children will learn everything about being little creators. Children will use their imagination to help us create and design new objects.
 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 such as:
 ·         Recognizing primary colors.
·         Making balls with paper. 
·         Playing with our sensorial table.
·         Creating figures using play dough.
 Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.
