What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you all have a lovely time with your loved one. This coming week it will be a shorter school week as we are coming back from Christmas break. On December 28th and 29th we will go over some fantastic themes that children enjoyed learning in the past weeks. Children will continue learning about celebrations and we will be getting ready for the New Year.

Through practical actions, we keep enlightening kids about the significance of holidays, celebration and the winter. 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 playing tea and feeding the dolls, looking at the mirror while going up and down and to listening to their favorite Christmas stories.

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
