Week of Oct. 30 - Nov. 3

Classroom: Mariquitas

Blog Title: My community and I

Week: From 10/30/2017 to 11/03/2017

What we are learning?
Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. As of Monday, October 30th, 2017 we will start with a new theme called “My Community and Me” and it will continue for the next 4 weeks. Next week children will learn everything about our community helpers. They will also be exploring the community we are living through songs, games and other activities.

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.

  • Children will look at images of community helpers and they will learn the names and how they help in our community.

  • Children will participate in several activities to strengthen their legs and arms. They will run, jump, play with balls and push boxes of different sizes.   

  • Children will participate in dramatic play using equipment doctors and firefighters use.   

  • Children will sing and dance to the rhythm of our song of the week.    

  • Children will build our school using blocks.     


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

Song of the Week – Comunidad


Conozco mucha mucha gente en mi vida,
Que siempre ayuda con mucha alegría
Y si tú quieres conocer sus oficios
Jugando vamos a nombrarlos en un ratito.
Es l enfermera, es el cartero
Es la maestra de Sff!
El policía y el bombero
Son los amigos que te cuidaran.
Conozco mucha……….
Es el dentista y el granjero
El cocinero…delicias te hará
El carpintero y el arquitecto
Son los amigos que te ayudaran.

Poems

El cocinero mezcla los sabores
Tiene su cocina de ricos olores

# 2
El veterinario cura perros y pajaritos

Siempre está rodeado de animalitos
