Blog Title: My BodyWeekly Feature Theme: Fine and Gross Parts of the BodyWeek: August 26th, 2019 to August 30th, 2019
What
we are learning?
Dear
Parents,
We hope you are having a
beautiful week. This week we will learn the parts of the human body. Children
will explore and identify the external parts of the human body as well as
understand the importance of hygiene, healthy eating habits, and exercise.
Children will be able to identify
parts of the face such as eyes, nose, mouth, ears, forehead, cheeks and
eyebrows as well as parts of the body such as head, chest, legs, arms, and back
with songs, games and fun activities. We also seek to raise awareness, so children
take care of their bodies by following important hygiene guidelines.
Each one of these activities
will help to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and
socio-emotional skills. Some of the activities children will enjoy are listed

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. The parent should
make sure to place the collage inside the traveling pet bag.
Sign up to both activities today! Sign-up sheets are available at the entrance of the classroom.
