What are we learning?                   

Dear Parents,

We hope you all have a wonderful week. This week we are starting a new topic “Tan Tan Music Time.” Children will learn about the music of different continents during the next four weeks.

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:

 

·         Dance to the rhythm of North America and Central American music.

·         Play drums.

·         Observe flashcards of traditional costumes.  

·         Pass the ball while listening to music.  

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

Year-Round Activities

Student of the Week

Please make sure to sign up your child for this beautiful activity that runs from August through January of the school year!

 

As you know, every week, a child is given a set week that he/she is the student of the week. On Monday of their week, the student of the week should bring a poster and a book created with family pictures, favorite books, sports, hobbies, animals and other interests. Parents will pick a day to present a banner to the classroom. The student of the week may also bring favorite toys and books to school so they can share with classmates.

 

Sign up today! Sign-up sheets are available at the entrance of the classroom.

#1

El país donde vivo 

Es mi hermoso hogar

Sus paisajes, los lugares

Todo luce fenomenal

Yo lo cuido, lo valoro

Yo lo quiero de verdad

Finger Games

Los deditos de la mano

Todos juntos estarán

Si lo cuentas uno a uno

Cinco son y nada más

 

Los deditos de la mano

Estirados los verás

Si tú cuentas las dos manos

Cinco y cinco serán
