🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Sapitos Parents,

This week we will start with a new theme called “Green Earth”. This particular week we will learn about earth, nature and how to care for it. Currently there are environmental problems since our environment is constantly undergoing changes and alterations of various industrial causes. Therefore, it is important for children to get to know interesting facts about the earth, its location in the solar system and all the components and resources of the earth: rivers, volcanos, rocks, etc.  Children will also discover how to cultivate love for nature and how to care for it.

Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Thank you,

Miss Paula

🎵 Songs of the Week

Buenos días ya salió el sol

Miro hacia el cielo, las nubes de algodón

Buenas noches, la luna salió

Muchas estrellitas luceros de amor.

Estrellas, planetas

Luna y sol

Cuida nuestra tierra y llénala de amor.

📚 Poems

Nací para cuidar

esto que veo:

para cuidar la lluvia,

para cuidar el viento,

para cuidar el ave,

al pez y a lo pequeño.

nací para cuidar

Todo el Universo.

Yo vivo en un mundo

No hay como él

Lleno de flores y plantas también.

Encuentro rocas, arena y mar

Tierra y ríos para disfrutar.

Yo vivo en un mundo

Que debemos cuidar

Su nombre es Tierra

¡Qué hermoso lugar!

Soy un científico

Y voy a crear

Hacer muchos experimentos

Jugar y a  explorar

📚 Riddles

Doy calorcito

Soy muy redondo

Salgo prontito

Y tarde me escondo

El sol

📚 Tongue Twisters

Filipí filipó

La flor se abrio

Filipí filipó

El sol la abrigo
