What are we learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a good week. We want to wish you a Happy Holiday season and express our gratitude for all the support we have received from you during this year.

The next two weeks will be shorter weeks due to Christmas and New Year’s breaks. This week we will go over some fantastic topics that children enjoyed learning in the past weeks. We will continue learning about holiday celebrations and start getting ready for the celebration of the New Year.

Through practical actions, we keep enlightening kids about the significance of holidays, celebrations and the winter. 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.

We would like to express our gratitude to Campos Family for the donation of books to the Book Fair.

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

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.
