What we are learning?

Dear Parents,
 
We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week the children will learn everything about being little athletes. 
 
We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through experiences. Children will have fun while learning how to kick a ball and participating in crawling races. They will also continue touching and feeling different textures.  They will learn the concept of up and down while playing with balls of different textures and try to throw bean bags into a container while enjoying the outdoors. It will be a fun week full of exciting physical activities!

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