Blog Title: Green Earth
Weekly Featured Theme: Care of Nature
Week: January 30th to February 3rd, 2017

馃敔 What are we learning?

Dear Ositos Parents,

This week we will start with a new theme called “Green Earth”. This particular week we will learn about earth, nature and how to care for it. Currently there are environmental problems since our environment is constantly undergoing changes and alterations of various industrial causes. Therefore, it is important for children to get to know interesting facts about the earth, its location in the solar system and all the components and resources of the earth: rivers, volcanos, rocks, etc.  Children will also discover how to cultivate love for nature and how to care for it.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme in order to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio, emotional skills such as creating a volcano in eruption and reviewing the letter Bb.

Our travelling Pet “Willy” will be visiting the home of Sam Cuneo this week.

Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Best Regards,

Miss Emely and Miss Karina

Buenos d铆as ya sali贸 el sol

Nac铆 para cuidar
esto que veo:
para cuidar la lluvia,
para cuidar el viento,
para cuidar el ave,

nac铆 para cuidar
Todo el Universo.

Yo vivo en un mundo
No hay como 茅l
Lleno de flores y plantas tambi茅n.
Encuentro rocas, arena y mar
Tierra y r铆os para disfrutar.
Yo vivo en un mundo
Que debemos cuidar
Su nombre es Tierra
¡Qu茅 hermoso lugar!

Soy un cient铆fico
Y voy a crear
Hacer muchos experimentos
Jugar y a  explorar
