What are we learning?

Dear Parents,

This week we will continue learning about family. Through songs, games, and other activities children will explore this exciting theme.

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 motor skills, fine motor skills, language, and socio-emotional skills. Below you can find a summary of some activities, children will participate during the week:

• Learn to identify the concept of in and out while placing cubes inside a basket or remove them out of the basket.
• Observe family pictures and try to identify all members.
• Try identifying toys that are red.
• Listen to family stories.

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

Year-Round Activities

Student of the Week

Please make sure to sign up your child for this beautiful activity that runs from August through January of the school year!

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.

Sign up today! Sign-up sheets are available at the entrance of the classroom.

Song of the Week – Tengo una familia

Tengo una familia y es fenomenal

Mi papá me ama, mi mamá igual

Con mis hermanitos yo puedo jugar

Y mis abuelitos bailan sin cesar (x2)

Con este cha cha cha

La familia aprenderás

Respeto a papá, amo a mi mamá

Mi abuelo y mi abuela felices están

Esta es mi familia, es mi dulce hogar

Cha cha cha cha amo a mi mamá

Cha cha cha cha amo a mi papá (x2)
