Week: May 29th through June 2nd, 2017 - Year Learning Review

What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

 

We hope you are having a beautiful week. 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, in particular, the basic colors.

 

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 look at flashcards of colors and we will also sing a song related to our body parts as well as the song “La Carita” in order to review the parts of our face.  

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