What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a great week. This week we will continue with our theme “Let’s celebrate”. Children will explore how we celebrate the holidays with family and friends. They will also enjoy Santa Claus visit.

Through practical actions we keep enlightening kids about significance of holiday traditions. 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. Below you can find a summary of all activities during the week:

• Read wonderful Santa stories.

• Listen to Christmas songs.

• Work with Christmas tree pictures.

• Create a Christmas tree using water colors.

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

Poems

El señor invierno

Se viste de blanco

Se pone el abrigo

Porque esta temblando

Se encuentra a la lluvia

Llorando llorando

Y también el viento

Que viene soplando
