What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you all have a wonderful week. This is the last week of our wonderful subject “A World of Colors”. This week children will continue being encouraged to cultivate love for nature through observation of images of nature while listening to music related to this theme. They will learn about recycling and plants and they will be also preparing themselves for our Science Fair.

We will also continue working on motor and sensorial activities related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun experiences while keeping strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills.  Some activities children will enjoy are as follows:

• Squeeze sponges.

• Learn how to plant seeds.

• Observe flashcards related to nature.

• Moving around the classroom while singing the song of the week.

• Play with play dough and create different shapes.  

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

Song of the Week

Buenos días ya salió el sol

Miro hacia el cielo, las nubes de algodón

Buenas noches, la luna salió

Muchas estrellitas luceros de amor.

Estrellas, planetas

Luna y sol

Cuida nuestra tierra y llénala de amor

Poems

El sol tiene frío

No quiere salir

Oculto entre las nubes

Se ha puesto a dormir
