Classroom: Monitos

Weekly Featured Theme: Gardening & Nature

🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Monitos Parents,

This week we will learn to be little gardeners and we will discuss about nature, trees and plants. We will continue creating safe learning environments that offer the children the opportunity to explore and experiment with nature. We have scheduled exciting learning activities that will allow us to continue strengthening motor and cognitive-sensory skills such as planting flower seeds, creating an orchard, decorating our pots with flowers of different colors and creating a collage with the dry leaves and painting small stones to create a beautiful art project.

Thank you once again for all your support and for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life.

Thank you,

Miss Karina

📄 Materials for Special Projects/Activities

• Bring dry leaves of different shapes and sizes for Monday project.
• Bring small rocks for Wednesday project.
• Bring swimsuit, splashers or swim diapers, towel, water shoes and a plastic bag for your child on Splash days.

🔆 Friendly Reminders

• Sunscreen and mosquito repellant are important to protect your child because he/she is very susceptible to sunburn/mosquito bites. Yet applying sunscreen and mosquito repellent to your child requires planning. If sunscreen and mosquito repellent must be applied to your child, make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when sunscreen and mosquito repellant should be applied and be sure to supply the sunscreen and mosquito repellant, label the bottles with your child's name and place them in a ziploc bag.
