Classroom: Buhitos
What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a wonderful week. This week we are starting a new theme called “Tan Tan Music Time”. Children will learn about music of different continents during the next five weeks. This week they will get familiar with Latin music.
We will also continue working on motor and sensorial activities related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun experiences while keeping strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Some activities children will enjoy are as follows:
· Dance to the rhythm of Latin American music.
· Dance to the rhythm of African drumbeats.
· Get familiar with the typical Peruvian cajon which is a percussion instrument while dancing to the rhythm of its music.
Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Poem
El país donde vivo
Es mi hermoso hogar
Sus paisajes, los lugares
Todo luce fenomenal.
Yo lo cuido, lo valoro
Yo lo quiero de verdad
Finger Games
Los deditos de la mano
Todos juntos estarán
Si lo cuentas uno a uno
Cinco son y nada más
Los deditos de la mano
Estirados los verás
Si tu cuentas las dos manos
Cinco y cinco serán
