Blog Theme: Annual Review
Week: From 06/04/2018 to 06/08/2018
What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a wonderful week. The next weeks will be a review of what we have learnt during the school year. This week children will review about insects.
Children will continue developing an understanding of insects such as bees, ants, butterflies, worms, etc. through games, play, story books and visual flashcards. They will explore their habitats, they will learn about what they eat, they will admire their beautiful colors and they will continue to get familiar with onomatopoeic sounds.
We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme, so children can continue acquiring knowledge through fun experiences. Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills.
· Monday - Large Group Setting
o Observe visual flashcards of insects and name them.
· Tuesday - Small Group Setting
o Identify green and yellow butterflies.
· Wednesday - Small Group Setting
o Crawl like ants to the rhythm of the tambourine.
· Thursday - Small Group Setting
o Build a worm using circles while counting the circles.
· Friday - Large Group Setting - Outdoors
o Take a walk outside and explore/search for insects using magnifying glasses.
Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Year-Round Activities
Student of the Week & Travelling Pet
Please make sure to sign up your child for these wonderful activities as these 2 are the children favorites! Both activities allow every child to make and share memories with their classmates.
For the student of the week activity, 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.
As for the Traveling Pet activity, the classroom pet will spend a whole week with the child and family. During that week, parents and the child will have fun together with a new member of the family while providing love and care to the pet. Our pet loves to read at night, go to the park, visit museums, give hugs and kisses! However, the pet does not like taking a bath as he can get sick. Parents and child will enjoy bonding time and making new memories and the child will be very excited to share all the memories with his/her classmates. In their week parents and the child should bring to school a collage of pictures and a brief description of what they did with the pet. Parent should make sure to place the collage inside the travelling pet bag.
Sign up to both activities today! Sign-up sheets are available at the entrance of the classroom.
Friendly Reminders
· Wash your hands and your child’s hands when entering the classroom and help your child to find his/her seat.
· Read your child’s journal, blogs and Friday Newsletter.
· Label all your child’s clothing and items and make sure that your child has extra set of clothing that is appropriate to weather in his/her cubby now that is getting colder.
· Make sure to remove clothing from the cubby and just leave one set of clothing and a blanket for nap time.
· Make sure to bring extra sets of clothing for all the children that are being potty trained.
· Make sure to take the blanket home on Fridays for laundry and bring it back on Monday.
· Make sure to have enough pull-ups or diapers in the cubby for the day.
· Label all bottles and food that you bring to preschool for your child with your child’s name and the date it was prepared and drop it in the kitchen. Please keep in mind we are a nut free environment.
· Do not bring your child to school if the child has a fever of over 101F or any contagious conditions.
· Apply sunscreen to your child every morning.
· Make sure to keep in your child’s cubby a pair of glasses and a summer hat.

If sunscreen and mosquito repellent must be applied to your child, make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when sunscreen and mosquito repellant should be applied and be sure to supply the sunscreen and mosquito repellant, label the bottles with your child's name and place them in a tote bag.
