Hello Parents!
We hope that this week will be good for you and for us too, so we can come with a lot of energy to develop skills and new games with our children. The Sapitos A always wants to know and learn more, to do that we created many activities, as always counting on your support that is so important for everybody. We started a new very interesting theme: “My Country” that is The United States, also we will talk about the symbols that identify our country as The Anthem, The Flag, The dollar, The Eagle, and The President. The activities will be related to these symbols and its history, and will make our children feel the importance of them. As always we hope for your great support.

SONG OF THE WEEK
Yo nací en un lindo país
Con 4 estaciones
2 mares azules
Montañas y por venir
 Yo soy feliz
Creciendo en este país
Aprendo respeto cuidado
Y entrego lo mejor que hay en mí
En Sff! me enseñan muchas cosas de mi país
El respeto por mi amiguito
Me hace siempre un niño feliz (bis)
¡Que viva mi país!

Es mi hermoso hogar

Hello Parents!
We hope you had a great week.
We are very happy for the effort and work that “Sapitos A” has done over the course of these months; we see their enthusiasm reflected in the work they have put in on every project that we have had and how families have been involved in them. Thank you all for your great teamwork! You provide us with the greatest support and it helps us to see the progress of the children and the happiness that they arrive with every morning.

We'll talk about characters in the visual arts and how to imitate them.  We will use different techniques so you can see their work in the exhibition hall during this week.
This will be a really fun week!

SONG OF THE WEEK: CANCIÓN DE LAS ARTES
Yo soy un pequeño artista
Con colores y papel
Mucho arte crearé (x2)
Con tijeras cortaré
Con pincel yo pintaré
Muchas flores y el sol
Que en el parque veo yo (x2)
Arco iris y el mar
Pinta pinta sin parar
Aquí en Sff! un arista crecerá
Ese soy yo!!!

POESÍA
La paleta del pintor
Tiene muchos colores
Para pintar cuadros
Llenos de ángeles y flores
¡Que bien pintan los pintores!
Todos esos  retratos
Que alegran nuestros corazones.

Soy Bueno y Delgado
Con buena figura
Mi pelo alocado
Lo mojo en pintura

Week 28: Conociendo las plantas

SAPITOS A
Ms. Marcia & Miss Valeria
Week 28 from: February 16th – 20th 2015
“Conociendo las plantas  –  Knowing the plants“

Hello Dears Parents!
My goal this week is to increase our children’s knowledge of different types of plants and the animals that live around them; also we will learn how to take care of plants.
As we care for and protect the environment, children become increasingly motivated on this issue and they want to know about plants that they their use in daily life using Spanish vocabulary.

Song of the week: “CANCION DE LAS PLANTAS.”
Un día en el parque jugando estaba
Con mis amigos de Sff,
Mire hacia el suelo, vi algo pequeño
La semillita yo vi pasar
Yo la tome con mucho cuidado
Y en una taza con amor la sembré,
Con tierra y agua creció mi plantita
Y muchas flores yo vi nacer.
Cuida tú alrededor,
A las plantitas respeta,
Por un mundo mejor cuida la naturaleza

POEM
Semillita semillita
Que en la tierra se cayó
Dormidita dormidita
Rapidito se quedó.

Semillita semillita
Que con agua y luz del sol
Te convertiste en una plantita
Con muchas hojas y una flor.

Star words of the week
Las Plantas:  The Plants
El Arbol: The Tree
Las Flores: The Flowers
El Loro: The Parrot

Homework
From a magazines cut and paste different types of plants.

Special:
This Friday 2/13,  we will celebrate Valentine’s Day at school; our kids will exchange Valentines cards with their friends at class.


Friendly Reminders
Please be sure to check your child cubby and replace current clothing with the weather appropriate clothing. Also, please bring two complete changes of clothes in case there are any accidents.
Please do not bring toys to the classroom.
Be sure that there are labels on all belongings (i.e. Blankets and extra clothes) with your child’s name before bringing them to school.
Check if your child has dirty clothes every day because accidents can happen.
