Weekly Theme: Saving the Planet
Week: February 17th, 2020 to February 21st, 2020
What are we learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a wonderful week. We will continue with the topic “Green Earth.” It's important for children to learn about how to protect the environment. There are multiple ways to help and protect Mother Earth at pre-school.
This week we will find educational and fun ways for children to be proactive in terms of the environment. They will be discovering and exploring which simple things they can do to help save planet Earth, from conserving water (have showers instead of baths) and energy (turn off lights) to recycling (place items in corresponding recycled bins) and reusing (drink water from reusable water bottles instead of plastic).
We have scheduled exciting
activities related to this theme so children can continue acquiring knowledge
through fun experiences. Each one of them
will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and
socio-emotional skills. Some activities children will enjoy are as follows:
·

Homework
Children are
learning all the time; during walks, car rides, on family outings, and while
they play. As parents and educators, we should encourage and support these
explorations and games in a creative manner. We consider some examples of the best
daily tasks that we can do at home with our kids are as follows:
·
Reading one book from front to
back.
·
Stimulate them to express their
feelings, emotions, and thought while having a dialogue or during family
conversations.
·
Teach kids responsibility while
asking them to complete age-appropriate chores or household tasks.
In addition to these
suggestions, Spanish for fun! will provide weekly homework assignments to
practice skills learned in the classroom. To complete homework assignments is
optional. Below are the homework assignment instructions if you decide to work
on them with your child:
·
Homework will be placed in wall
pocket envelopes or in your child’s cubby every Wednesday. Please feel free to
collect them every Wednesday.
·
Review the enclosed assignments and
select one, two, or more worksheets and have your child work on them. Complete
all assignment worksheets is optional.
·
Return completed assignments by
Tuesday of the following week.
If you have any questions regarding homework assignments, please let us
know.
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 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.
