Hello Ositos Parents: Our children have just finished learning about the changes in their bodies when they are growing up, and how to follow healthy habits to take care of it. We appreciate the family involvement to help our Ositos understand the theme.

This week we will be talking about the senses and the organs related to each one. We will also show the children how our senses help us to learn about the world.

On Monday, the Ositos will attend to a special class (science activity related to the theme) with Miss Gladys De Stefano.

Our objectives by areas are:

Language: Identify and name silhouettes, exercise visual memory.

Cognitive: compare sizes and positions, quantities; recognize senses and identify the organs related to them.

Socio-emotional: personal identity and autonomy.

Psychomotor: roll over an horizontal lines (gross motor) and trace horizontal lines on notebook (fine motor).

Song of the Month/Week (Cancion del mes/semana):

“Cancion de los Sentidos”

Con mis cinco sentidos yo aprenderé

A ver todo a mi alrededor,

Con mis cinco sentidos puedo ver

El cielo con su color,

Escucharte a ti eso me hace feliz

Y sentir el sol sobre mi,

Saborear la miel y poder oler

Las flores que hay en el jardín.

Con mis cinco sentidos….

Poderte abrazar y también escuchar

Mi maestra en Sff

Oler, saborear, escuchar y sentir

El amor que sientes por mi!!!

Con mis cinco sentidos…

Poem by Theme (Poema por tema):

Miramos con los ojos

Por la nariz puedo oler

Tocamos con las manos

Sentimos por la piel

Oimos por las orejas

Cuando escuchamos bien

Y con la lengua yo disfruto

Galletitas con miel.

Riddles/Charades (Adivinanzas):

Nos sirven para oler, oir, ver

Tocar y degustar

Los tienes en tu cuerpo

Tito  Te tomaste todo el te?

Todo el te tempranito lo tome.
