What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a great week. This week we will continue with our theme “Let’s celebrate”. Children will continue exploring holiday traditions.

Through practical actions, we keep enlightening kids about the significance of holiday traditions. We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun experiences.  Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Some of the activities children will enjoy are scribbling freely on paper using crayons of different colors, listening to different Christmas stories and learning to pass the pages one by one, dancing to different songs while moving arms up and down, playing with our treasure box, etc.

We will have our Holiday party on December 21st! We look forward to seeing you there. Details to come in the next weeks.

Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Poems

El señor invierno

Se viste de blanco

Se pone el abrigo

Porque esta temblando

Se encuentra a la lluvia

Llorando llorando

Y también el viento

Que viene soplando
