What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

This week the children will learn everything about being little explorers through games, art and music. We have scheduled fun activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through experiences.

 

Children will enjoy Splash days, a picnic and a pajama day. They will also enjoy playing in the outdoors. 

In the social-emotional area, children will enjoy reading stories and playing with puppets while showing the importance of being kind to each other. In the language area, we will talk during circle time about the fact of being explorers and how amazing it is to discover and learn new things. In the cognitive area children will play with sensory bottles. In the gross motor area children will participate in activities such as jumping using bars, walking through obstacles, etc. It will as always a week full of learning and fun activities kids enjoy and cherish!

 

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

Friendly Reminders

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

·         Read your child’s journal, blogs and Friday Newsletter. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us in case you have any comment or any question about your child’s development or any notes/comments made in your child’s journal.

·         Avoid bringing your child with items that can cause distraction such as toys, necklaces, bracelets, watches, etc. This is needed to help him/her concentrate in the scheduled activities at school.

·         Label all your child’s clothing and items and make sure that your child has extra set of clothing that is appropriate to weather in his/her cubby.

·         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.

·         If your child is bringing a lunch box, please label it with your child’s name and date and place it in the kitchen refrigerator.

·         Label the food that you bring to preschool for your child with your child’s name and the date it was prepared.

·         Do not bring your child to school if the child has a fever of over 101F or any contagious conditions.

·         Apply sunscreen to your child every morning.

·         Make sure to keep in your child’s cubby a pair of glasses and a summer hat.

·         Have your child wear swimsuit, splashers or swim diapers and water shoes for Splash Day. Make sure to send a towel and a plastic bag for wet items. Label and pack all these items in the tote bag.

·         Sunscreen and mosquito repellent are important to protect your child because he/she is very susceptible to sunburn/mosquito bites. Yet applying sunscreen and mosquito repellent to your child requires planning. If sunscreen and mosquito repellent must be applied to your child, make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when sunscreen and mosquito repellent should be applied and be sure to supply the sunscreen and mosquito repellent, label the bottles with your child's name and place them in a Ziploc bag.
