What
are we learning?
Dear
Parents,
We hope you are having a
wonderful week. Due to current weather conditions, we have to cancel our
Grandparents Celebration scheduled for Friday, September 6th, 2019. However, we
would like to inform you that we have rescheduled our Grandparents Celebration
for next Friday, September 13th, 2019. All of you are welcome to join us!
This week we will learn about
how we are changing and growing. This topic will provide knowledge of the
stages of growth and development in humans. Our goal is to acknowledge the
characteristics, similarities, and differences in the human development stages
and promote respect for others.
We have scheduled exciting
activities related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun
experiences. Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening
gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills.

Year-Round Activities
Student of the Week &
Traveling Pet
Please make sure to sign
up your child for these beautiful activities as these 2 are the children's
favorites! These activities allow every child to create and share memories with
their classmates. Student of the week will run from August through January and
Traveling Pet from January to the end of the School Year.
As you know, every week,
a child is given a set week that he/she is 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 and other interests.
Parents will pick a day to present a banner to the classroom. 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 children
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 a collage of pictures and a written paper
containing a brief description of what they did with the pet. Parents should
make sure to place the collage inside the traveling pet bag.
Sign up for both
activities today! Sign-up sheets are available at the entrance of the
classroom.
