What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week we start a new theme and babies will get familiar with the parts of the body. We will start learning the parts of the face.

 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. Some of the activities babies will enjoy are as follows:

·         Observe flashcards of the parts of the face and body and describe what we see.

·         Sing songs related to the theme.

·         Learn to identify the parts of the face.

·         Kick balls to strengthen the legs.

·         Dance using scarves.

·         Create a face using paper plates.

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