Blog Title: The Animal Kingdom
Weekly Feature Theme: Domestic and Wild Animals
Week: May 1st to May 5th, 2017
Dear Parents,
We hope you are having a beautiful week. This month our theme is “The Animal Kingdom”. This coming week we will learn everything about domestic animals (particularly farm animals) and wild animals (particularly felines and primates). Children will explore and discover interesting facts about their habitat and the food they eat. They will learn to care and respect them since they are part of our environment.
We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills Children will continue learning to work as a team and enjoy playing with their classmates.
Children will also continue to work on their reading and writing skills. This week they will review the letter W and X. And in Math, they will review the number 20. We encourage you to keep working with your child at home by asking questions about the day at school and what they have learnt.
Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Song of the Week
ANIMALES DE LA GRANJA
Mi abuelita tiene, una granja bella
Con animalitos y flores muy bellas,
Ahora este jueguito de imitar sonidos
Tú lo haces primero y luego tu amiguito (x2)
El perrito ladra (sonido)
El gato maulla (sonido)
El gallito canta (sonido)
La vaca estornuda (sonido)
El conejo salta
El caballo trota
Y los pajaritos la canción entonan(x2)
ANIMALES DE LA SELVA
Los animales que hay en la selva,
Tú los vas repetir,
Algunos gordos otros muy altos
Igual nos vamos a divertir.
El elefante que está muy grande
Y la jirafa que alta es
Y el monito que salta y salta
El cocodrilo… me va a morder
Los animales…….
Es un león que esta enojón
Es la serpiente que es muy decente
Y la tortuga come lechuga
Y el ratón (donde está el ratón?)
Ya se escondió.
Los animales…….
Poems
POEM # 1
Los zorros en el monte
Las gallinas en el corral
Los peces en el río
Y los patitos dicen cua cua cua
POEM # 2
Un elefante no es elegante
No usa sombrero
Corbata ni guantes
La trompa muy larga
La panza gigante
Las patas muy gruesas
Y las orejas muy grandes.
Riddles
Riddle # 1 - The cat
Sale de noche
Miau miau
Duerme de día
Miau miau
Le gusta la carne
Y la leche fría
Riddle # 2 - The toad
Soy verde
Me gusta saltar
Jugar en el charco
Y también croar
Tongue Twisters
El hipopótamo hipo
Esta con hipo
Quien le quita el hipo
Al hipopótamo hipo
