What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you are having a beautiful week. New month calls always for a new theme “My Body and Me”. This week we will learn the parts of my body, particularly about the parts of the face through flashcards, songs and games.

We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through fun experiences. Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Children will identify their body parts while singing songs and learn to identify the concepts of warm and cold by feeling the water with their hands. They will also discover their heads while looking at mirrors. It will be a fun week!

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