What are we learning?
Dear Parents,
We would like to thank you for your participation in our
Fall Festival. The children had so much fun! Sapitos are excited to continue
learning everything related to My Community and Me. This topic is a great way to get kids interested in their communities. Showing kindness to community
helpers is also a wonderful way to teach kids gratitude!
This week children will learn about community places.
They will be able to identify institutions that offer help in an emergency or
services in shopping entertainment and culture in our community.
Through practical actions, we will keep enlightening kids
about the importance of community places. We have scheduled exciting activities

Year-Round Activities
Student of the Week &
Traveling Pet
Please make sure to sign
up your child for these beautiful activities as these 2 are the children's
favorites! These activities allow every child to create and share memories with
their classmates. Student of the week will run from August through January and
Traveling Pet from January to the end of the School Year.
As you know, every week,
a child is given a set week that he/she is 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 and other interests.
Parents will pick a day to present a banner to the classroom. 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 children
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 a collage of pictures and a written paper
containing a brief description of what they did with the pet. Parents should
make sure to place the collage inside the traveling pet bag.
Sign up for both
activities today! Sign-up sheets are available at the entrance of the
classroom.
