What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a great
week. This week we will continue learning about the topic called “Getting
around and communicating in my city.” This week, children will explore and
discover air transport.
Through practical actions, we
keep enlightening kids about how we move from one place to another. We have
scheduled exciting activities related to this topic so children can continue
learning through fun experiences. Each one of them 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.
