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 the love for nature through observation of images of nature while listening to music related to this theme.
We will also continue working on the 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:

·         Learn the concept of place and remove while placing and removing objects from a box.
·         Listen to sounds from nature such as rain, wind, water, and birds.
·         Observe images of nature.
·         Play with sensory bottles of basic colors.
·         Classify objects by color.   
·         Learn how to paint and draw with Crayola.   

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
