What we are learning?

Dear Parents,
 
We hope you are having a beautiful week. We are excited that our summer camp is just around the corner. We will be sending you a list of materials needed in the next days!
 
This month our theme is “annual review”. This coming week we will review everything we have learnt through the school year, particularly the areas that require improvements.
 
We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through experiences. Children will enjoy outdoors activities and will be in contact with nature. They will explore the trees, animals and plants.
Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Song of the Week
ANIMALES DE LA GRANJA
Mi abuelita tiene, una granja bella
Con animalitos y flores muy bellas,
Ahora este jueguito de imitar sonidos
Tú lo haces primero y luego tu amiguito (x2)
El perrito ladra (sonido)
El gato maulla (sonido)
El gallito canta (sonido)
La vaca estornuda (sonido)
El conejo salta
El caballo trota
Y los pajaritos la canción entonan(x2)
 
ANIMALES DE LA SELVA
Los animales que hay en la selva,
Tú los vas repetir,
Algunos gordos otros muy altos
Igual nos vamos a divertir.
El elefante que está muy grande
Y la jirafa que alta es
Y el monito que salta y salta
El cocodrilo… me va a morder
Los animales…….
 
Es un león que esta enojón
Es la serpiente que es muy decente
Y la tortuga come lechuga
Y el ratón (donde está el ratón?)
Ya se escondió.
Los animales…….
