Weekly Featured Theme: The Five Senses

Week: October 3rd to October 7th, 2016

🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Ositos Parents,

This week we will focus in learning about the five senses (sight, taste, smell, touch and hearing), the importance and care. We have scheduled several activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross motor skills, language and cognitive skills. These activities will also let the children explore and experiment the use of senses while identifying objects in different sizes and colors, distinguishing different tastes, listening to sounds and smelling odor or aromas.

We would like to also remind you about the student of the week activity. If your child has not signed up yet, please do so. Children that are participating are having so much fun.

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 Emely and Miss Karina

🎵 Songs of the Week - "CANCION DE LOS SENTIDOS”

Con mis cinco sentidos yo aprenderé

A ver todo a mí alrededor,

Con mis cinco sentidos puedo ver

El cielo con su color.

Escucharte a ti eso me hace feliz

Y sentir el sol sobre mí

Saborear la miel y poder oler

Las flores que hay en el jardín.

Con mis cinco sentidos…...

Poderte abrazar y también escuchar

Mi maestra en Sff

Oler, saborear, escuchar y sentir

El amor que sientes por mi!!

Con mis cinco sentidos….

📚 Poems

Miramos con los ojos

Por la nariz puedo oler

Tocamos con las manos

Sentimos por la piel

Oímos por las orejas

Cuando escuchamos bien

Y con  la lengua yo disfruto

Galletitas con miel.

📚 Riddles - The senses (Los sentidos)

Nos sirven para oler, oír, ver

Tocar y degustar

Los tienes en tu cuerpo

¿Los vas a adivinar?

📚 Tongue Twisters

Tito ¿Te tomaste todo el té?

Todo el té tempranito lo tomé

🎵 Songs of the Week - Las Partes del Cuerpo

Las partes de mi cuerpo , hoy yo voy a cantar

Bailando con mis amigos

Cada parte moverás

Empiezo con mis brazitos

Con los que puedo abrazar

Con mucho amor a papito

Y luego a mi mamá

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.

📚 Poems, Riddles and Tongue Twisters

Poem 1

Tengo dos ojos

una nariz

y también una boquita

Para comer y sonreír.

Con los ojos veo todo

Con la nariz hago achis

Y con la boca yo como

Palomitas de maíz.

Riddle 1 - Las Piernas

Con ellas podemos correr

Podemos saltar

Podemos caminar

¿Sabes quienes serán?
