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.
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.

Song of the Week
Un día en el parque jugando estaba
Con mis amigos de Sff!
Mire hacia el suelo, vi algo pequeño
La semillita yo vi pasar
Yo la tome con mucho cuidado
Y en una taza con amor la sembré,
Con tierra y agua creció mi plantita
Y muchas flores yo vi nacer
Cuida tú alrededor,
A las plantitas respeta,
Por un mundo mejor cuida la naturaleza
Rhymes
Rhyme # 1
Mi plantita es muy bonita
Yo la tengo que regar
Cada día crece un poco
Por la luz que el sol le da.
Rhyme # 2
Semillita, semillita
Que en la tierra se cayó
Dormidita, dormidita
Rapidito se quedo
Semillita, semillita
Que con agua y luz del sol
Te convertiste en una plantita
Con muchas hojas y una flor.
Riddles
Verde soy
Huelo muy bien
Crezco con flores, plantas
Y árboles también
Las hojas
