This week, children will explore and discover interesting facts about different means of air transportation such as airplanes, helicopters, rockets and aerostatic globes.
We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme so children can continue learning through fun experiences. Each one of these activities will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills.
On Monday, children will learn about types of air transportation. They will get familiar with airplanes, helicopters, rockets and aerostatic globes and will learn how to compare them and identify them
On Tuesday, children will learn everything about the people that work as pilots and our air force.
On Wednesday, children will learn everything about airplanes and they will build one in art.
On Thursday, children will explore and discover everything about air, winds and space.
On Friday, children will experience going to the airport to catch a flight. They will have the chance to express what was the most favorite subject of the week.
Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Year-Round Activities
Student of the Week & Travelling Pet
Please make sure to sign up your child for these wonderful activities as these 2 are the children favorites! Both activities allow every child to make and share memories with their classmates.
For the student of the week activity, every week a child is given a set week that he/she are the student of the week. On Monday of their week the student of the week should bring a poster and a book created with family pictures, favorite books, sports/hobbies, animals or anything they are interested in. Also, on their week parents and the student of the week may pick a day to present the poster and the book to the class. The student of the week may also bring favorite toys and books to school so they can share with classmates.
As for the Traveling Pet activity, the classroom pet will spend a whole week with the child and family. During that week, parents and the child will have fun together with a new member of the family while providing love and care to the pet. Our pet loves to read at night, go to the park, visit museums, give hugs and kisses! However, the pet does not like taking a bath as he can get sick. Parents and child will enjoy bonding time and making new memories and the child will be very excited to share all the memories with his/her classmates. In their week parents and the child should bring to school a collage of pictures and a brief description of what they did with the pet. Parent should make sure to place the collage inside the travelling pet bag.
Sign up to both activities today! Sign-up sheets are available at the entrance of the classroom.
Friendly Reminders
Remember your child to wash his/her hands when entering the classroom and before leaving the school. This is the best way to prevent illnesses.
Make sure to bring your child on time so he/she can participate in circle time. This activity starts at 8:45am and will stimulate and strengthen skills in all areas.
Read your child’s journal, blogs and Friday Newsletter. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us in case you have any comment or any question about your child’s development or any notes/comments made in your child’s journal.
Avoid bringing your child with items that can cause distraction such as toys, necklaces, bracelets, watches, etc. This is needed to help him/her concentrate in the scheduled activities at school.
Label all your child’s clothing and items and make sure that your child has extra set of clothing that is appropriate to weather in his/her cubby.
Make sure to remove clothing from the cubby and just leave one set of clothing and a blanket for nap time.
Make sure to take the blanket home on Fridays for laundry and bring it back on Monday.
Make sure to have enough pull-ups or diapers in the cubby for the day, if your child has not been potty-trained yet.
Label all bottles and food that you bring to preschool for your child with your child’s name and the date it was prepared and drop it in the kitchen. Please keep in mind we are a nut free environment.
Take home the homework blue folder in your child’s cubby and take one or 2 paper sheets from the container that are next to the entrance of the classroom. Homework should be returned by Tuesday and do not forget to bring the homework folder back on Monday.

Song of the Week – A Volar
Vamos volando en un avión
Y al ver por la ventana vemos las nubes pasar
Volando en un avión
A una enorme altura nos vamos a pasear
Desde mi ventana las alas puedo ver
Y allá abajo otras cosas también.
Los autos y edificios muy pequeños son
Y me hacen sentir que muy alto estoy.
Es muy divertido un avión pilotear
Y cuando sea mayor eso voy a estudiar
Por ahora me conformo con solo jugar
A salvo de tormentas que me puedan dañar.
Poems
#1
Son muchos los medios de locomoción
Los hay terrestres
Como el camión
Otros son acuáticos
Como el gran vapor
Y de los aéreos
El mayor de todos
Es el avión
#2
Quiero un barco de colores
Un avión para volar
Una moto de carreras
Y un gran autocar
Para ir con mis amigos
Por el cielo y por el mar
Y por la tierra redondita
Muchas vueltas dar.
Riddles
#1
Va por el cielo
Como ventarrón
Lleva pasajeros
Y anda a motor
El avión
#2
Tiene motor , Cuatro ruedas
Ventanillas sin cortinas
Un timón negro y también una bocina
El carro
Tongue Twisters
Corre corre rapidito
Solo para en la estación
Corre corre rapidito
Que el tren ya te dejó.
