🔠 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 America (USA, USA flag, US President, etc.) and Latin America. We will talk about all the countries that are part of America and the languages that are spoken in all of these countries. We will talk about music, their people, their traditions, culture and interesting places in all these countries. We, the teachers, will discuss specifically about Peru and Puerto Rico since we are the countries they are coming from.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. This week the activities are oriented to the exploration and discovery of a new wonderful culture by participating in fun live experiences. We will also do an activity to welcome Spring that is just around the corner.

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
