What we are learning?

Dear Parents,
 

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week we are going to learn about a new theme “My family”. Through songs, games and other activities children will learn how everything related to family.
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. Below you can find a summary of all activities during the week:

·         Sing and dance to the rhythm of “Tengo una familia” song.
·         Observe flashcards regarding the family theme. 
·         Identify mom and dad in our family home toy.

 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 – Tengo una familia

Tengo una familia y es fenomenal

Mi papa me ama mi mama igual

Con mis hermanitos yo puedo jugar

Y mis abuelitos bailan sin cesar.(x2)

Con este chachacha

La familia aprenderás

Respeto a papa amo mi mama

Mi abuelo y mi abuela felices están

Esta es mi familia, es mi dulce hogar.

Chachachacha amo a mi mama

Chachachacha amo a mi papa (x2)

Yo amo a mi familia
