Week: From 04/02/2018 to 04/06/2018
What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a wonderful week. This month we are starting a new fascinating topic “I love the plants”. This topic will allow children to get knowledge of their natural environment. Children will be getting familiar with plants and flowers and discover the green world.
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:
· Observe flashcards related to plants.
· Listen to music related to nature.
· Do massages to babies palms and feet.
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
Un día en el parque jugando estaba
Con mis amigos de Sff!
Mire hacia el suelo, vi algo pequeño
La semillita yo vi pasar
Yo la tome con mucho cuidado
Y en una taza con amor la sembré,
Con tierra y agua creció mi plantita
Y muchas flores yo vi nacer
Cuida tú alrededor,
A las plantitas respeta,
Por un mundo mejor cuida la naturaleza
Poems
Una hermosa flor
Para ti con mucho amor.
Finger Games
Abro y cierro
Abro y cierro
Abro y cierro
Mis manitos
Abro y cierro
Abro y cierro
Y doy unas palmaditas.
