Classroom: Monitos A & BBlog Title: My BodyWeekly Feature Theme: Playing with my body IWeek: August 26th, 2019 to August 30th, 2019
What
we are learning?
Dear
Parents,
We hope you are having a
beautiful week. This week we will learn the parts of the human body. Children
will explore and identify the external parts of the human body as well as
understand the importance of hygiene, healthy eating habits, and exercise.
Our goal is to get children
to participate in experimental activities in order to learn about the fine and
gross parts of the body and create a positive image in the children’s minds. We
also seek to raise awareness, so children take care of their bodies. Children
will be able to identify parts of the face such as eyes, nose, mouth, ears,
forehead, cheeks and eyebrows as well as parts of the body such as head, chest,
legs, arms, and back.
We have scheduled exciting activities
related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun
experiences, games, songs, etc. Each one
of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills,
language and socio-emotional skills. Some of the activities children will enjoy
are as follows:
·
Monday - Large Group Setting
o
Sing the song “Parts of the Body.”
o
Identify and name our body parts in a playful
way.
·
Tuesday - Small-Group Setting
o
Play with our body by naming our body parts
while singing.
·
Wednesday - Small Group Setting
o
Identify the fine parts of our body, i.e. face
while standing in front of a mirror and singing songs.
o
Create a silhouette of the human body.
·
Thursday - Small Group Setting
o
Walk barefoot and feel sensory objects such as
leaves, stuffed animals and raffia.
o
Play with puzzles about the human body.
·
Friday - Large Group Setting - Outdoors
o
Play with our feet while jumping inside small
hulas.
o
Build an animal house using blocks.
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. The parent should
make sure to place the collage inside the traveling pet bag.
Sign up to both activities today! Sign-up sheets are available at the entrance of the classroom.
