🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Monitos Parents,

This week we will start with a new theme called “Green Earth”. This particular week we will learn about nature and how to care for it. Currently there are environmental problems since our environment is constantly undergoing changes and alterations of various industrial causes. Therefore, it is important for children to get to know all the components and resources of the earth: rivers, volcanos, rocks, etc.  Children will also discover how to cultivate love for nature and how to care for it.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme in order to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio and emotional skills.

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

Best Regards,

🎵 Songs of the Week

Buenos días ya salió el sol

Miro hacia el cielo, las nubes de algodón

Buenas noches, la luna salió

Muchas estrellitas luceros de amor.

Estrellas, planetas

Luna y sol

Cuida nuestra tierra y llénala de amor.

📚 Poems

Nací para cuidar

esto que veo:

para cuidar la lluvia,

para cuidar el viento,

para cuidar el ave,

al pez y a lo pequeño.

nací para cuidar.

Todo el Universo.

Soy un científico

Y voy a crear

Hacer muchos experimentos

Jugar y a  explorar

📚 Riddles

Doy calorcito

Soy muy redondo

Salgo prontito

Y tarde me escondo

El sol.
