What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a wonderful week. This week we will start a new theme called “A World of Colors”. Children will learn the primary colors and will explore the world of nature such the sun, the rain, etc. They will also review the concepts of up and down using cubes.
We will also continue working on motor and sensorial activities related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun experiences while keeping strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Some activities children will enjoy are as follows:
· Sing songs related to the theme.
· Read the monthly poem.
· Identify the green objects from a pile of toys.
· Play with sensory bottles.
· Listen to the sounds of nature such as rain, wind, water, birds, etc.
· Listen to stories about nature.
· Walk through a tunnel.
· Play with a parachute.
· Paint rain drops with their fingers.
· Water our plant “Chispita”.
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
Buenos días ya salió el sol
Miro hacia el cielo, las nubes de algodón
Buenas noches, la luna salió
Muchas estrellitas luceros de amor.
Estrellas, planetas
Luna y sol
Cuida nuestra tierra y llénala de amor
Poems
El sol tiene frío
No quiere salir
Oculto entre las nubes
Se ha puesto a dormir
