Week: 09/25/2017 to 09/29/2017 All about my body Feature Theme: Review

What  are we learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week we continue with our theme “All about my body”. We will particularly review everything we have learnt about it so far. We will also learn how to distinguish the stages of growth using flashcards of babies, children and adult people. 

We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme 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 enjoy singing and watching a puppet show that will evolve around the conversation between a child and an adult. 

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