What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

 

We hope you all have a wonderful week. This month we will start a new theme called “A World of Colors.” Children will learn the primary colors and will explore the world of nature. They will be also perceiving different smells.

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. Some activities children will enjoy are as follows:

·         Sing songs related to the theme.

·         Read the monthly rhyme.   

·         Group the ring toys by color.

·         Listen to the sounds of nature such as rain, wind, water, birds, etc.

·         Explore the colors while going through a tunnel.

·         Play with a plastic toy in warm water.

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

Song of the Week

 

Buenos días ya salió el sol

Miro hacia el cielo, las nubes de algodón

Buenas noches, la luna salió

Muchas estrellitas luceros de amor.

Estrellas, planetas

Luna y sol

Cuida nuestra tierra y llénala de amor

Rhymes

El sol tiene frío

No quiere salir

Oculto entre las nubes

Se ha puesto a dormir
