Classroom: Monitos
Blog Theme: Hola! Around The World
Weekly Theme: Knowing North America
& Central America
Week: March 2nd, 2020 to March 6th, 2020
What
are we learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a
wonderful week. We will start a new topic, “Hola! Around the world.” This topic
will allow children to develop skills that will foster equality, fraternity,
solidarity, respect and sense of belonging.
Through hands-on activities children will realize that cultural
diversity conveys wealth of information and different experiences and learn new
cultures while increasing their level of understanding about other cultures.
We believe that children
should be immersed in learning experiences that promote and increase their
knowledge in regards with cultural diversity, since they are little.
This week we will learn about
North America and Central America. Children will explore and discover about
their culture, geography, traditions, cuisines, music, etc. as well as identify
other cultures and have respect for other cultures.
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. Some activities children will enjoy are as follows:
·
Large Group Setting
o

o
Observe visual flashcards of animals, traditional costumes and touristic
places.
·

o
Pretend play: play being American Indians in dramatic play. Use a tent and

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.

Alrededor del mundo
Hay muchas personas como
