Dear Ositos Parents:

We hope everybody had a great week. This week we will explore with the Ositos some of the most popular attractions on the continent of Asia. My goal for the week will be to introduce the different cultures, foods, music, languages, recognized monuments, etc., of Asia - through crafts, playing in the centers, and watching videos to gain an appreciation for the many cultures of other countries.

Song of the Week:

Cancion  “Juan Luis Guerra - “Viene a Pedir su Mano  ”

Voy a pedir su mano

al amor hay que dar de beber

voy a cortar un ramo (d)e nubes

para mojar su querer

voy a bajar por los yayales

en una yagua de tul

voy a pintar los manatiales

con óleos de cielo azul

Voy a prender tu cariñito

como cocuyo en el mar

y voy a hacerte un traje de novia

con hojas del platanal

Viene a pedir mi mano, viene

vamo(s) a sonar unos palos

pa(ra) que me quiera por siempre

Que su amor sea verdadero, ¡oh!

pa que me quiera, ¡ay!

Viene a pedir mi mano, viene

vamo a sonar unos palos

pa que me quiera por siempre

Poesia 1

Alrededor del mundo

Hay muchas personas como tu y como yo

Su musica y su pais es di diferente

y a todas ellas les doy

mi amor y admiracion

Adivinanza 1

Buenas y sonoras

Cuerdas tengo

Cuando me rascon

A la gente entretengo

Special Activity:

·  Osito Willy will visit with Luke and his family for a week of enjoyment.  We hope everyone will enjoy the week!

·  We are so excited about our “International Party” planned for 4/24/2015! The Ositos are working very hard and hoping all the family will come and enjoy!

·  Costumes for boys are black pants and long sleeve white shirt with black shoes. Parents, if you have extra black pants and white shirts for boys we would like to have them as extras for the International Party and future celebrations. Please bring them one week prior to the event. Thank You!

·  Costumes for girls would be white or red sandals; we will have dresses and flowers for the girls.

Friendly Reminder:

·  This week we will continue the process of pre-reading the letter "Pr pr”  with the sound, identification and 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 every Friday to avoid 2 weeks – or more - of piled up homework for your Osito!
