🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Ositos Parents,

We continue with our theme for the month of March called “People and Music around the World”. This coming week we will learn everything about Africa. We will talk about music, their people, their traditions and culture.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. The activities are oriented to the exploration and discovery of a new wonderful culture by participating in fun live experience events. Children will review the color gold, the number 17 and the letter F.

Our travelling Pet “Willy” will be visiting the home of Barret Woollen 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
