What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you all have a great week. This week we will continue with our theme “Choo Choo Train.” Children will continue exploring and discovering interesting facts about travel and transport through playing and observation.

We will also continue working on motor and sensorial activities related to this topic so children can continue learning through fun experiences while keeping strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Below you can find a summary of all activities during the week:

·         Sing the song of the week.

·         Classify means of transportation by red color.

·         Imitate face gestures while looking at the mirror.

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