What we are learning?
Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. New month calls always for a new theme “My Body and Me”. This week we will learn the parts of my body, particularly about the parts of the face through flashcards, songs and games.

We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through fun experiences. Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Children will identify the parts of their faces while looking at the mirror, they will dance with puppets and also play music with instruments. It will be a fun week!

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