My Senses

Classroom: Pajaritos

Blog Title: My Senses

Week: September 30th, 2019 to October 4th, 2019

What are we learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a wonderful week. This week we are going to learn about a new theme called “My senses.” The five senses are the five main tools that humans use to perceive the world. Those senses are sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. Children will understand that they can explore the world around them through the senses. Children will see with their eyes, smell with their noses, listen with their ears, taste with their tongue and touch with their skin while singing our song of the week “Los canción de Los sentidos.”

We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun experiences and that help kids use their senses in lots of different ways.  Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language, and socio-emotional skills.

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

As you know, every week, a child is given a set week that he/she is the student of the week. On Monday of their week, the student of the week should bring a poster and a book created with family pictures, favorite books, sports, hobbies, animals and other interests. Parents will pick a day to present a banner to the classroom. The student of the week may also bring favorite toys and books to school so they can share with classmates.

Song of the Week – La Canción de los Sentidos

Con mis cinco sentidos yo aprenderé

A ver todo a mí alrededor,

Con mis cinco sentidos puedo ver

El cielo con su color.

Escucharte a ti eso me hace feliz

Y sentir el sol sobre mí

Saborear la miel y poder oler

Las flores que hay en el jardín.

Con mis cinco sentidos…...

Poderte abrazar y también escuchar

Mi maestra en Sff

Oler, saborear, escuchar y sentir

El amor que sientes por mi!!

Con mis cinco sentidos….
