Weekly Featured Theme: My body parts
馃敔 What are we learning?
Dear Ositos Parents,
This week we will learn about parts of our bod and a few internal organs. We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme in order to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio, emotional skills. Through fun activities we will identify our body parts and features. Children will increase control, speed and corporal balance.
Thank you once again for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and please don’t hesitate to reach out to us in case you have any comment.
Best Regards,
Miss Emily and Miss Karina.
馃搫 Materials for Special Projects
- Bring small prizes to hand out during good manner days to the ositos (pencils, erasers, stickers, etc.).
馃攩 Friendly Reminders
- Check your child’s cubby every Friday and take home your child’s blanket for laundry. Make sure to bring it back on Monday.
- Make sure to bring extra sets of clothing appropriate to weather.
- Remove all your child projects completed from the cubby at the end of the week.
- 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.

馃幍 Songs of the Week - Las Partes del Cuerpo
Las partes de mi cuerpo , hoy yo voy a cantar
Bailando con mis amigos
Cada parte mover谩s
Empiezo con mis brazitos
Con los que puedo abrazar
Con mucho amor a papito
Y luego a mi mam谩
Moviendo la cabeza yo digo si o no
Moviendo mi colita bailando yo estoy
Ya todos preparados pues vamos aprender
Las partes del cuerpo que tu vas a mover
Piernas y cabeza
Pies brazos y cadera
Hombros manos y rodillas
Pies brazos y piernas.
馃摎 Poems, Riddles and Tongue Twisters
Poem 1
Tengo dos ojos
una nariz
y tambi茅n una boquita
Para comer y sonre铆r.
Con los ojos veo todo
Con la nariz hago achis
Y con la boca yo como
Palomitas de ma铆z.
Riddle 1 - Las Piernas
Con ellas podemos correr
Podemos saltar
Podemos caminar
¿Sabes quienes ser谩n?
Riddle 2 - Los Ojos
En la cara tengo dos
Cuando los abro todo veo y
Cuando los cierro solo duermo.
