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 pets and insects.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. We will look at flashcards of pets such as dogs and cats while singing songs. Children will learn to distinguish the concepts of up and down and we will learn how to give a bath to pets while pretending to bathing one with water.

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 & Giselle
