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.

Song of the Week – A Volar
Vamos volando en un avión
Y al ver por la ventana vemos las nubes pasar
Volando en un avión
A una enorme altura nos vamos a pasear
Desde mi ventana las alas puedo ver
Y allá abajo otras cosas también.
Los autos y edificios muy pequeños son
Y me hacen sentir que muy alto estoy.
Es muy divertido un avión pilotear
Y cuando sea mayor eso voy a estudiar
Por ahora me conformo con solo jugar
A salvo de tormentas que me puedan dañar.
Poems
#1
Son muchos los medios de locomoción
Los hay terrestres
Como el camión
Otros son acuáticos
Como el gran vapor
Y de los aéreos
El mayor de todos
Es el avión
#2
Quiero un barco de colores
Un avión para volar
Una moto de carreras
Y un gran autocar
Para ir con mis amigos
Por el cielo y por el mar
Y por la tierra redondita
Muchas vueltas dar.
Riddles
#1
Va por el cielo
Como ventarrón
Lleva pasajeros
Y anda a motor
El avión
#2
Tiene motor, Cuatro ruedas
Ventanillas sin cortinas
Un timón negro y también una bocina
El carro
