Weekly Feature Theme: Sports

What
are we learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you are having
a wonderful week.
Our new theme will be
Sports & Healthy Eating for the next two weeks. This week, we will focus on
sports, exercise, and its rules. Children will understand the importance of
exercise to maintain good health. They will get familiar with workout routines
and practices that will promote motor skills, coordination, balance, and
discipline. Sports will also teach children to trust others, value individual
strengths, and put collective needs before individual wants as well as promote
solidarity.
Ositos will have the
opportunity to participate in a marathon on Thursday and Friday in a sporting
event!
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. Below is the list of the activities that children will
enjoy during the week:

Year-Round Activities
Student of the Week & Traveling Pet
Please make sure to sign up your child for these beautiful activities
as these 2 are the children's favorites! These activities allow every child to
create and share memories with their classmates. Student of the week will run
from August through January and Traveling Pet from January to the end of the
School Year.
As you know, every week, a child is given a set week that he/she is 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 and other interests. Parents will pick a day to present a
banner to the classroom. 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 children 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 a collage of
pictures and a written paper containing a brief description of what they did
with the pet. Parents should make sure to place the collage inside the
traveling pet bag.
Sign up for both activities today! Sign-up sheets are available at the entrance of the classroom.

Song of the Week
Mueve mueve mueve
mueve bien los pies
Mueve mueve mueve la cabeza ya
Mueve mueve mueve las rodillas bien
Ponte siempre activo vamos a jugar (2)
Y corre corre corre corre
Y Salta salta salta salta
Gira gira gira
gira sin parar (2)
Manos arriba
Piernas cruzadas
Gira tu cuerpo
Ven a jugar (2)
Rhymes
Ya es hora de los deportes
Pronto va a comenzar
Ya estoy esperando la partida
Para correr, jugar y ganar
Ahí van mis amiguitos
Para jugar con mucha ilusión
Intentamos todos correr rapidito
Cualquiera puede ser el campeón.
Riddles
Soy de color anaranjado
Crezco en la tierra
A los conejos les gusto
y para la vista soy buena.
La zanahoria
Tongue Twisters
Si yo como como poco
Si tu comes
¿Comes poco?
