Dear

system, etc. Children will continue learning the importance of eating healthy,
exercise and hygiene.
We

learning through fun experiences. Each
one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine
motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills.
Children

Children

Year-Round Activities
Student of the Week & Traveling Pet
Please make sure to sign up your child for these wonderful
activities as these 2 are the children favorites! Both activities allow every
child to make and share memories with their classmates.
For the student of the week activity, every week a child is
given a set week that he/she are 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 or anything they are
interested in. Also, on their week parents and the student of the week may pick
a day to present the poster and the book to the class. The student of the week
may also bring favorite toys and books to school so they can share with
classmates.
As for the Traveling Pet activity, the classroom pet will
spend a whole week with the child and family. During that week, parents and the
child will have fun together with a new member of the family while providing
love and care to the pet. Our pet loves to read at night, go to the park, visit
museums, give hugs and kisses! However, the pet does not like taking a bath as
he can get sick. Parents and child will enjoy bonding time and making new
memories and the child will be very excited to share all the memories with
his/her classmates. In their week parents and the child should bring to school
a collage of pictures and a brief description of what they did with the pet.
Parent should make sure to place the collage inside the travelling pet bag.
Sign up to both activities today! Sign-up sheets are available at the
entrance of the classroom.
