Classroom: Ositos A & BBlog Theme: Animal KingdomWeekly Theme: My Pets and MeWeek: From 05/20/2019 to 05/24/2019
What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a wonderful week. This is our fourth and last week of
the fascinating theme “The Animal Kingdom”. This week we will learn about pets.
Children enjoy pets for many reasons. They like watching them, touching them,
handling them, caring for them, and learning about them. Many different animals
can become pets. Children will learn which animals will make good pets and that
all pets need love, care, food, and shelter. Ositos will be also rehearsing for
the graduation during the week.
We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme, so children
can continue acquiring knowledge through fun experiences. Each one of these activities will help to
continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and
socio-emotional skills.

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.
·
Do not bring your child to school if the child
has a fever of over 101F or any contagious conditions.
·
Apply sunscreen to your child every morning.
·
Make sure to keep in your child’s cubby a pair
of glasses and a summer hat.
·
Sunscreen and mosquito repellant are important
to protect your child because he/she is very susceptible to sunburn/mosquito
bites. Yet applying sunscreen and mosquito repellent to your child requires
planning. If sunscreen and mosquito repellent must be applied to your child,
make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when
sunscreen and mosquito repellant should be applied and be sure to supply the
sunscreen and mosquito repellant, label the bottles with your child's name and
place them in a tote bag.

Song of the Week
Song #1- 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
(Repetir 2x)
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 (Repetir 2x)
Song
#2 - 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…

Rhyme # 2
Un elefante no es
elegante
No usa sombrero
Corbata ni guantes
La trompa muy

La panza gigante
Las patas muy
gruesas
Y las orejas muy
grandes.

Esta con hipo
Quien le quita el
hipo
Al hipopótamo, hipo.
