What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. New month calls always for a new theme “My Body and Me”. This week we will discuss and discover interesting facts about our bodies, particularly about the parts of our body such as head, trunk and extremities.

We have scheduled exciting activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through fun experiences. Children will be able to identify the different parts of the body, they will cut human figures while listening to songs related to this theme. In Math, we will review and identify the numbers from 1 to 5 and we will build towers of different sizes to explore the concepts of tall, medium and short.

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