What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week we start a new theme and babies will get familiar with the parts of the body. We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun experiences, games and puppet shows.  Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Some of the activities babies will enjoy are as follows:

• Observe flashcards of the parts of the face and body and pronounce the names.
• Sing songs related to the theme.
• Learn to identify the concepts of up and down using our arms.
• Learn to identify the parts of the body while looking at the mirror.

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

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.
