Classroom: Monitos A & B
Blog Title: My emotions
Week: October 7th, 2019 to October 11th, 2019
What
are we learning?
Dear
Parents,
We hope you are having a wonderful 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 feelings but also to communicate them
assertively. The opportunity of acknowledgment and expression of emotions will
promote interpersonal skills in children, increase self-confidence, regulate
behavior, and foster interaction and communication with others.
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 feelings and
respect other individuals’ unique emotions as well as express them through
representative play.
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, and scared. 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 the events during the week:
·
Large Group Setting
o
Learn to sing the song “Ronda de Sentimientos” (Round of Emotions).

such an essential role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great
weekend.

Year-Round ActivitiesStudent 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 it 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.

Prepara bien tu carita
Pues tú me vas a imitar (x2)
Feliz feliz tu estas

Un besito aquí en la frente
Para ser amigos siempre
Un besito en la nariz
Y que seas muy feliz
un besito en tu corazón
para llenarlo con mucho amor.
