Classroom: Pajaritos
What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a wonderful week. This week we are starting a new theme called “Tan Tan Music Time”. Children will learn about the music of different continents during the next five weeks. This week they will get familiar with Latin music.
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 of the activities they will enjoy are listening to music, observing images from different musical instruments and learn their names, learning to give and take objects related to this theme.
Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

As you know, every week a child is given a set week that he/she are the student of the week. On Monday of their week, the student of the week should bring a poster and a book created with family pictures, favorite books, sports/hobbies, animals or anything they are interested in. Also, on their week parents and the student of the week may pick a day to present the poster and the book to the class. The student of the week may also bring favorite toys and books to school so they can share with classmates.

Poem
El país donde vivo
Es mi hermoso hogar
Sus paisajes, los lugares
Todo luce fenomenal.
Yo lo cuido, lo valoro
Yo lo quiero de verdad
Finger Games
Los deditos de la mano
Todos juntos estarán
Si lo cuentas uno a uno
Cinco son y nada más
Los deditos de la mano
Estirados los verás
Si tu cuentas las dos manos
Cinco y cinco serán
