Classroom: MonitosBlog Title: My Community and MeWeekly Feature Theme: Community PlacesWeek: November 4th, 2019 to November 8th, 2019
What are we learning?
Dear
Parents,
We would like to thank you
for your participation at our Fall Festival. The children had so much fun! We will
continue with the topic “My Community & Me.” This week, children will learn
about community places. Children will explore hospitals, medical centers,
dental clinics, fire stations, police stations, supermarkets, bakeries,
restaurants, schools, movie theaters, libraries, museums, and theaters. Children
will also be able to associate the community helpers with the community places.
Through practical actions we
will keep enlightening kids about the importance of the community places. We have
scheduled exciting activities related to this theme so children can continue
learning through fun experiences that help kids explore everything related to our
community places in different ways. 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 activities during

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.
