What we are learning?



Dear Parents,


We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week children will continue discovering interesting facts about our theme “My family”. We will learn everything related to types of houses and the rooms we can find in a house. We will be also exploring and identifying objects such as furniture, appliances, etc. inside each room.  


We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun experiences that help kids explore everything related to family in different ways. Through practical actions we will keep enlightening kids about importance of family. Each one of these activities will help to continue 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.

Year-Round Activities


Student of the Week & Travelling 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.


This week our student of the week is Nora Clark.


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.


This week Valeria Pellicer from Sapitos B will take our traveling pet home. We are looking forward to hearing all the memories.
Sign up to both activities today! Sign-up sheets are available at the entrance of the classroom.

Friendly Reminders



  • Wash your hands and your child’s hands when entering the classroom and help your child to find his/her seat.

  • Make sure to remove clothing from the cubby and just leave one set of clothing and a blanket for nap time.

  • 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.

Song of the Week – Tengo una familia



Tengo una familia y es fenomenal
Mi papa me ama mi mama igual
Con mis hermanitos yo puedo jugar
Y mis abuelitos bailan sin cesar.(x2)
Con este chachacha
La familia aprenderás
Respeto a papa amo mi mama


Mi abuelo y mi abuela felices están
Esta es mi familia, es mi dulce hogar.
Chachachacha amo a mi mama
Chachachacha amo a mi papa (x2)

Poems



Viva mi familia
Que felicidad
Vivo junto  a ellos
Es fenomenal
Todos los niños y niñas
Necesitan un hogar
Una casita encantada
Un lugar para soñar

Todas las mañanas
Sueño al despertar
Que del cielo viene un ángel
Que me viene a besar.
Al abrir los ojos
Miro donde esta
Y en el mismo sitio
Veo a mis papas.


Riddles



Empieza con “A”

Y muchos cariños me da.

Me cuida , me mima

Y es la mamá de mi mama

Mi abuelita.



Tongue Twister



Mi tía Pancha plancha
Con dos  planchas
Con dos  planchas

Plancha mi tía Pancha.
