Choo Choo Train

Classroom: Mariquitas

Blog Theme: Choo Choo Train

Week: From 01/14/2019 to 01/18/2019

What we are learning?
Dear Parents,

We hope you all have a wonderful week. This week we will continue learning about our theme called “Choo Choo Train”. Children will continue exploring and discovering interesting facts about air transportation through playing and observation. Through practical actions we keep enlightening kids about how we commute from one place to another.

We will also continue working on motor and sensorial activities related to this theme 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:

  • Pretend to be airplanes and fly.

  • Sing and dance songs such as “Un barco muy chiquito” and “A volar”.

  • Learn about means of communication such as radio and phones.


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

Star Words of the Week


  • The airplane – El avión

  • The clouds – Las nubes


Song of the Week – A Volar


Vamos volando en un avión

Y al ver por la ventana vemos las nubes pasar

Volando en un avión

A una enorme altura nos vamos a pasear

Desde mi ventana las alas puedo ver

Y allá abajo otras cosas también.

Los autos y edificios muy pequeños son

Y me hacen sentir que muy alto estoy.


Es muy divertido un avión pilotear

Y cuando sea mayor eso voy a estudiar

Por ahora me conformo con solo jugar

A salvo de tormentas que me puedan dañar.

Poems


Ring ring suena el teléfono

Tica tac suena el reloj

Chu chu suena el trencito

Muchos sonidos escucho yo


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
