What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. New month calls always for a new theme “My Body and Me”. This week we will learn the parts of my body and face. Children will explore all the activities they can do with their bodies and it will help to boost their confidence and independence. We will also talk about the physical characteristics of our bodies and the motor and sensorial abilities as well as physical disabilities.

They will discover their external and visible parts of their bodies by participating in fun activities related to this theme. Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Children will work on a craft project on Friday, September 1^st. They will create a collage of pictures of special children with disabilities.

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

• Make sure to take the blanket home on Fridays for laundry and bring it back on Monday.
• Make sure to have enough pull-ups or diapers in the cubby for the day, if your child has not been potty-trained yet.
• Label all bottles and food that you bring to preschool for your child with your child’s name and the date it was prepared and drop it in the kitchen. Please keep in mind we are a nut free environment.
