we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a wonderful week. This week children will learn about
sea animals and birds. Children will get
familiar with all the animals and species that live in the water such as
oceans, rivers, lakes, etc. They will also learn about birds such as eagles,
seagulls, etc. while understanding what they eat and getting familiar with their
habitats.
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

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
Song #1- Animales de la
Granja
Mi abuelita tiene una granja bella
Con animalitos y flores muy bellas,
Ahora este jueguito de imitar sonidos
Tú lo haces primero y luego tu amiguito
(Repetir 2x)
El perrito ladra (sonido)
El gato maulla (sonido)
El gallito canta (sonido)
La vaca estornuda (sonido)
El conejo salta
El caballo trota
Y los pajaritos la canción entonan
(Repetir 2x)
Song #2 - Animales de la
Selva
Los animales que hay en la selva,
Tú los vas repetir,
Algunos gordos, otros muy altos
Igual nos vamos a divertir.
El elefante que está muy grande
Y la jirafa que alta es
Y el monito que salta y salta
El cocodrilo… me va a morder
Los animales…
Es un león que esta enojón
Es la serpiente que es muy decente
Y la tortuga come lechuga
Y el ratón (donde está el ratón?)
Ya se escondió
Los animales…
Rhymes
Rhyme # 1
Después de la lluvia
Salió el caracol
Después de la lluvia
A tomar el sol.
Rhyme # 2
Coco, coco, cocodrilo
En el río está tranquilo
Ele ele elefante
En la trompa lleva un guante.
Salta, salta, saltamontes
Salta mucho y no se rompe.
Rhyme # 3
La ballena Elena
Es gorda y es buena
Nada por los mares
Como una sirena.
Riddles
Soy verde
Me gusta saltar
Jugar en el charco
Y también croar
