Week: 09/15/2017 to 09/29/2017 All about my body Theme: Review

What are we  learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week we continue with our theme “All about my body”. We will review everything we have learnt about it so far. 

We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme 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. 

Some of the activities children will enjoy are:

• Children will create art with paint and ice using different colors. 
• Children will play with balls of different textures and colors. They will roll them and then classify them by color while learning the concept of give and take.
• Children will review the parts of the face while singing a song and looking at a mirror. 

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