Week: August 15th to August 19th, 2016
Weekly Featured Theme: My classroom & My friends!

What are we learning?

Dear Sapitos Parents,

We would like to thank you for your support and for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life.

Welcome to a new school year at Sff! We are also excited to welcome new children in our classroom! We are looking forward to getting to know you and your child. Children will need to adapt to a new teacher and new friends, we will be with them in every step of the way. This week our theme will be My school and friends! Children will start exploring the school as a big house and a big family. We have scheduled exciting learning activities related to this theme that will allow us to continue strengthening motor, cognitive-sensory and language. Children will get familiar with all the school materials and our guidelines and rules in the classroom.

Best Regards,

Miss Andrea and Miss Karol

Friendly Reminders

  • Bring extra sets of clothing for your child so your child gets changed if he/she gets wet or dirty.
  • Sunscreen is important to protect your child because he/she is very susceptible to sunburn. Yet applying sunscreen to your child requires planning. If sunscreen must be applied to your child, make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when sunscreen should be applied and be sure to supply the sunscreen (no spray please) and label the sunscreen bottle with your child's name.
  • Check sunscreen bottles to see if you need to bring a new ones.
  • Bring your child’s  insect repellent if he/she needs it.

📚 Poems, Riddles and Tongue Twisters

Poem
Llego la hora de despertar,
Para ir a mi colegio,
Spanish for fun,
Allí tengo amigos,
Y puedo jugar,
Aprendo canciones,
Y muchas cosas más.

Riddle - The Crayons
A veces soy grueso
A veces delgado
De muchos colores pinto
Cuando me coges con la mano.

Riddle - The scissors
Traz traz corto papeles
Traz traz corto cartón
Traz traz
Creo muchas cosas
Con tu imaginación

Tongue Twister
Teresa trajo tizas hechas trizas
Hechas trizas trajo Teresa Tizas.
