Song of the Week – A Volar

Vamos volando en un avión 

Y al ver por la ventana vemos las nubes pasar

Volando en un avión

A una enorme altura nos vamos a pasear

Desde mi ventana las alas puedo ver

Y allá abajo otras cosas también.

Los autos y edificios muy pequeños son

Y me hacen sentir que muy alto estoy.

Es muy divertido un avión pilotear 

Y cuando sea mayor eso voy a estudiar

Por ahora me conformo con solo jugar 

A salvo de tormentas que me puedan dañar.

Poems

Ring ring suena el teléfono

Tica tac suena el reloj

Chu chu suena el trencito

Muchos sonidos escucho yo

El señor invierno 

Se viste de blanco

Se pone el abrigo 

Porque esta temblando

Se encuentra a la lluvia

Llorando llorando

Y también el viento 

Que viene soplando

Title: My community and I Week: From 11/06/2017 to 11/10/2017

What we are learning? 

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week we will learn about community places. It’s important for children to learn their role in a community and that there are safe and friendly people in these community places to help them if they have an emergency. This week we will talk about community places such as hospitals, dental clinics, fire station, police station, supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, schools, movie theaters, libraries, museums and theaters.  

Through practical actions we will keep enlightening kids about 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. Some of the activities children will enjoy this week are:

· Children will enjoy reading books about community places. 

· Children will play to pretend going to a restaurant. They will play with paper plates and cups and they will try to repeat the names of fruits and vegetables.
