Theme: Tan Tan Music Time Week: From 03/12/2018 to 03/16/2018


What we are learning? 


Dear Parents, 

We hope you all have a wonderful week. We will continue with our favorite theme “Tan Tan Music Time” and explore music all over the world. This week, children will learn and discover music from Asia. Children will also learn to identify the concept of up and down using their arms while also trying to wave hi and goodbye with their hands. 

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:

· Discover objects that are inside our surprise basket. 
· Manipulate different objects and listen to the sounds they produce such as boxes, spoons, plastic cups, etc. 
· Motivate babies in the age range of 9-12 months to crawl and reach objects related to this theme.
· Touch Asian different costumes and listen to a brief description of them. 

Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Poems

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
