What
we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a wonderful week. For the next 5 weeks, we will learn the topic “Green Earth.” The earth is the place where we live, and it is our responsibility to care and protect it. At present, the environmental pollution and the neglect in the conservation of endangered species are causing air pollution, soil and water contamination and the extinction of species. Our goal is to promote love and care for nature in children within their familiar environments such as their home and school.
This week children will learn everything about our wonderful planet earth. It is important for the children to explore different elements, landforms and bodies of water on earth such as minerals, lakes, rivers, sea, volcanos, rocks, mountains, etc. through play, observation, stories and hands-on experiences.
We have scheduled exciting
activities related to this theme so children can continue acquiring knowledge
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 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.
