What are we learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you all have a wonderful week.

We will continue with the topic “A World of Colors.” This week children will continue being encouraged to cultivate a love for nature through observation of images of nature and reviewing the basic colors while listening to music related to this theme.

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.

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

 

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
