Classroom: Monitos A & B
Blog Title: My emotions
Week: From 10/08/2018 to 10/12/2018
What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week we are going to learn about a new theme called “My emotions”. Everyone is equally important and so is it expressing emotions in different situations. It is a need to help children not only to acknowledge their emotions but also to express them assertively.
This topic will allow children to express if they feel happy, sad or upset and identify the emotions they feel towards specific experiences or situations that they live. Children will learn to identify their emotions and respect other individuals’ unique emotions as well as express feelings through representative play. The opportunity of acknowledgement and expression of emotions will promote interpersonal skills in children, increase self-confidence, regulate behavior and foster interaction and communication with others.
We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun experiences and that help kids explore their emotions in lots of different ways. Children will experience being happy, sad, upset, scared, etc. Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Below you can find a summary of all activities during the week:
Large Group Setting
Learn to sing the song “Ronda de Sentimientos” (Round of Emotions).
Make different facial expressions.
Small Group Setting
Read the story book called “El Monstruo de los Sentimientos” (The Monster of Emotions).

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.
