What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This month our theme is “The Animal Kingdom”. This coming week we will learn everything about pets. Children will explore pets through flashcards, puzzles and story books to discover what they eat and their habitat.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Children will enjoy playing with the stuffed animal they will bring from home and we will create a collage of pictures with all the pet pictures we will have from the children. All of us will learn all the pet names and we will talk about particular pet features such as size of the pet, its color and how many legs the pet has, etc.

Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Miss Claudia, Miss Rosa & Miss Eliana
