Classroom: Pajaritos Blog Theme: I love the plants



Week: From 04/02/2018 to 04/06/2018

What we are learning? 

Dear Parents, 

We hope you all have a wonderful week. This month we are starting a new topic “I love the plants”. This topic will allow children to get knowledge of their natural environment. Children will be getting familiar with plants and flowers and discover the green world.

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:

· Listen to onomatopoeic sounds of nature. 
· Observe visual flashcards related to plants and fruits and pronounce their names. 
· Learn the concept of give and take while playing with fruit toys. 

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

Un día en el parque jugando estaba

Con mis amigos de Sff!

Mire hacia el suelo, vi algo pequeño 

La semillita yo vi pasar

Yo la tome con mucho cuidado

Y en una taza con amor la sembré,

Con tierra y agua creció mi plantita 

Y muchas flores yo vi nacer

Cuida tú alrededor, 

A las plantitas respeta,

Por un mundo mejor cuida la naturaleza


Poems

Una hermosa flor 

Para ti con mucho amor.


Finger Games

Abro y cierro
Abro y cierro
Abro y cierro 
Mis manitos 
Abro y cierro 
Abro y cierro
Y doy unas palmaditas.
