What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. New month calls always for a new theme “My Body and Me”. This week we will learn the parts of my body. Children express themselves in different ways through their bodies. Therefore, they will explore and discover their external and visible parts of their bodies by participating in fun activities related to this theme.

Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Children will name their body parts while moving their bodies, they will dance, etc. Children will learn to explore all the activities they can do with their bodies and it will help to boost their confidence and independence.

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