What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week the children will learn everything about being little creators.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through experiences. Children will work with recycled material, bottles and lids to create simple objects. They will have fun making prints on bottles and playing with lids of different sizes. They will also enjoy some outdoor fun combined with crafts as they will be painting in the outdoors.   

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

Miss Erika & Miss Janeth
