What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you are having a beautiful week. As of Monday, October 30th, 2017 we will start with a new theme called “My Community and Me” and it will continue for the next 4 weeks. Children will be able to identify businesses and institutions, recreation areas in our community, different means of transportation as well as to recognize the work of our community helpers such as police men, firefighters, chefs, bakers, gardeners, doctors, teachers, etc.
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 play with little cards and try to imitate the sound of the firefighter truck. They will also build towers with cubes.
Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Song of the Week – Comunidad
Conozco mucha mucha gente en mi vida,
Que siempre ayuda con mucha alegría
Y si tú quieres conocer sus oficios
Jugando vamos a nombrarlos en un ratito.
Es l enfermera, es el cartero
Es la maestra de Sff!
El policía y el bombero
Son los amigos que te cuidaran.
Conozco mucha……….
Es el dentista y el granjero
El cocinero…delicias te hará
El carpintero y el arquitecto
Son los amigos que te ayudaran.
Poem #1
El cocinero mezcla los sabores
Tiene su cocina de ricos olores
Poem # 2
El veterinario cura perros y pajaritos
Siempre está rodeado de animalitos
