What we are learning?
Dear Parents,
We hope you all have a great week. This week, children will explore and
discover air transport such as airplanes, helicopters, rockets, and aerostatic
globes. They will also learn how these means of transportation can move up in
the air and how they can move people from one territory to another in a short
amount of time.
We have scheduled exciting activities related to this topic so children can
continue learning through fun experiences. Each one of them will help to
continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and
socio-emotional skills. Below you can find a summary of all activities during
the week:

Homework
Children
are learning all the time; during walks, car rides, on family outings, and
while they play. As parents and educators, we should encourage and support
these explorations and games in a creative manner. We consider some examples of
the best daily tasks that we can do at home with our kids are as follows:
·
Reading one book from front to
back.
·
Stimulate them to express their
feelings, emotions, and thought while having a dialogue or during family
conversations.
·
Teach kids responsibility while
asking them to complete age-appropriate chores or household tasks.
In
addition to these suggestions, Spanish for fun! will provide weekly homework
assignments to practice skills learned in the classroom. To complete homework
assignments is optional. Below are the homework assignment instructions if you
decide to work on them with your child:
·
Homework will be placed in wall
pocket envelopes or in your child’s cubby every Wednesday. Please feel free to
collect them every Wednesday.
·
Review the enclosed assignments and
select one, two, or more worksheets and have your child work on them. Complete
all assignment worksheets is optional.
·
Return completed assignments by
Tuesday of the following week.
If you have any questions regarding homework assignments, please let us
know.
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.
