“Mi Pais” “My Country”

Ms. Emely and Ms. Esther.

Week of March 9nd to 13th 2015

Dear Ositos Parents:

We hope everybody had a great week. This week we will continue learning about our country. We will learn about the great jobs the US soldiers are involved in all around the world. Our focus will be placed on the significance of Independence Day, national bird and constructing many crafts typical of US culture. We want to encourage the students to learn about and to love their country.

Song of the Week:

Cancion  “ Mi Pais ”.

Yo nací en un lindo país,

Con cuatro estaciones,

Dos mares azules y

Montañas y porvenir.

Yo soy feliz creciendo en este país,

Aprendo, respeto, cuido y

Entrego lo mejor que hay en mí.

En Sff! Me ensenan muchas cosas de mi país,

El respeto por mi amiguito,

Me hace siempre un niño feliz

¡Que viva mi país!

Special Activity:

Osito Willy just finished washing and drying his dirty laundry from a full week of fun Christina's house and is taking a taxi to spend a week with DAVIS family. Be sure Osito Willy gets to bed on time, he has been known to have a sweet tooth in the night.

Friendly Reminder:

This week we will begin the process of pre-reading the letter " ce- ci " with the sound, identification, writing with vowels to develop their Spanish vocabulary.

Also please assist with writing skills of letters and numbers of the week with your osito at home to develop their fine motor skills.

Parents, please be mindful of returning the notebooks each Friday to avoid 2 weeks of homework requested by your osito.

We are planning for costumes to wear during the international party…more info will be provided as the date gets near.
