What we are learning?

Dear Parents,
 We hope you all have a wonderful week. This is the last week of our favorite theme “Tan Tan Music Time” where we will continue exploring music all over the world. This week we will enjoy African music and dances. Children will also learn the concept of giving and take while playing with different toys.   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: ·         Rehearse for the performance of our International Fiesta.
·         Dance to the rhythm of African music.
·         Touch different textures.
·         Observe visual flashcards of people wearing traditional costumes and try to pronounce the names of objects they see.
·         Observe images of emotions and mimic them.
 

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