🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Ositos Parents,

This week we will learn to be little gardeners and we will discuss about gardening, nature, trees and plants. We will continue creating safe learning environments that offer the children the opportunity to explore and experiment with nature. We have scheduled exciting learning activities that will allow us to continue strengthening motor and cognitive-sensory skills while enjoying the contact with nature such as nurturing the flowers and participating in camping day.

Thank you once again for all your support and for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life.

Best Regards,

Miss Emily

📄 Materials for Special Projects

• Bring a flower pot for Monday project and make sure to label it with your child’s name.
• Bring snacks to share with friends on Wednesday activity.
• Bring swimsuit, splashers or swim diapers, towel, water shoes and a plastic bag for your child on Splash days.

🔆 Friendly Reminders

• Sunscreen and mosquito repellant are important to protect your child because he/she is very susceptible to sunburn/mosquito bites. Yet applying sunscreen and mosquito repellent to your child requires planning. If sunscreen and mosquito repellent must be applied to your child, make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when sunscreen and mosquito repellant should be applied and be sure to supply the sunscreen and mosquito repellant, label the bottles with your child's name and place them in a ziploc bag.
• Check your child’s cubby to remove dirty clothes and make sure to bring extra clothing suitable to weather.
