What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week the children will learn everything about being little scientists.

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 enjoy the following activities:

·         Learning to identify the sensations of warm and cold water.

·         Classifying toys by color.

·         Listening to a storybook about marine animals.  

·         Understanding the concept of give-take while playing with a ball.  

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