What we are learning? 

Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a lovely time with your loved one. We are ready to start 2018. As one year ends, making way for the new one, we can all benefit from taking a moment to step back and reflect on what went well during the year, what could have been better, and what goals we will set for the coming year.

This coming week it will be a shorter school week as we are coming back from Christmas break. On December 28th and 29th we will go over some fantastic themes that children enjoyed learning in the past weeks. Children will continue learning about celebrations and we will be getting ready for the New Year.

Through practical actions, we keep enlightening kids about the significance of holidays, celebration and the winter. 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 creating hats for our New Year’s celebration, dancing to the rhythm of Latin songs, moving their feet up and down, listening to stories while expressing feelings such as happy, excited or sad, etc.

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

Poems

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
