What we are learning

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This month our theme is “The Animal Kingdom”. This coming week we will learn everything about birds and marine animals.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Our children will identify animals when looking at flashcards, they will learn how to insert coins into a toy pig and how to give hugs while looking themselves 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.

Miss Laura & Kenia
