What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a wonderful start to the new year. During the month of January, we will learn about a new theme called “Chu Chu Tren”. This week in particular, children will gain knowledge about different types of land transports that moves on roadways and railways and their importance in our life. Through practical actions such as observing flashcards, playing and pushing cars around the classroom, we keep enlightening kids about how we commute or move from one place to another.
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 skills.
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 – A Volar
Vamos volando en un avión
Y al ver por la ventana vemos las nubes pasar
Volando en un avión
A una enorme altura nos vamos a pasear
Desde mi ventana las alas puedo ver
Y allá abajo otras cosas también.
Los autos y edificios muy pequeños son
Y me hacen sentir que muy alto estoy.
Es muy divertido un avión pilotear
Y cuando sea mayor eso voy a estudiar
Por ahora me conformo con solo jugar
A salvo de tormentas que me puedan dañar.
Poems
Ring ring suena el teléfono
Tica tac suena el reloj
Chu chu suena el trencito
Muchos sonidos escucho yo
El señor invierno
Se viste de blanco
Se pone el abrigo
Porque esta temblando
Se encuentra a la lluvia
Llorando llorando
Y también el viento
Que viene soplando
