Little Readers

Week: July 4th thru July 8th

Weekly Featured Theme: Reading & Story Books

🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Ositos Parents,

This week we will learn to be little readers. Children will learn about reading and its benefits. Reading has a significant number of benefits and it will enable children to get knowledge, stimulate them, help them with vocabulary expansion, develop analytical skills and improve focus and memory. We are scheduling exciting learning activities that will allow us to continue strengthening motor and cognitive-sensory skills such as reading story books and dramatizing the favorites characters of the story books.

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 sleeping bag and your child’s favorite story book for Pajama day (see holiday and upcoming events section for dates).

• Have your child wear the outfit of their favorite character of a story book for Princess and Knight Dress up Parade (see holiday and upcoming events section for dates).

🔆 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.
