🔠 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. We will talk more about the Latin American countries where the teachers come from. We will talk about the languages that are spoken in the countries, music, their flag, their people, their traditions, culture and interesting places as well as their traditional food and musical instruments.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Children will know through these activities that diversity brings us a variety of information and experiences and lots of learning from different cultures. Children will enjoy discovering and exploring ceramic crafts and helping to prepare causa from Peru.

We will start with the concept of addition and the number 18 in math and learn the letter Gg.

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
