🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Ositos Parents,

The last week of Summer Camp is finally here and we want to thank you for giving us the opportunity  to teach and take care of your little children. We feel special and value our work and we are glad that the children have experienced new learning adventures with hands-on play during the summer. This week we will learn to be Little Clowns and Magicians. We will discuss about the animals and the magicians in the circus and we have scheduled exciting learning activities related to this theme that will allow us to continue strengthening motor, cognitive-sensory and language skills such as making magic, creating puppets, painting our faces, reading short stories about the life in the circus, etc.

Thank you once again for all your support and for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life.

Best Regards,

Miss Amparo and Miss Claudia

📄 Materials for Special Projects/Activities

●      Have your child wear swimsuit and water shoes for Splash Day. Bring a towel and a plastic bag for wet items. Pack all these items in a tote bag for your child. We recommend to label the bag, swimsuit, towel and shoes with your child’s name.

🔆 Friendly Reminders

●      Check your child’s cubby and remove everything.

●      Sunscreen and mosquito repellant are important to protect your child because he/she is very susceptible to sunburn/mosquito bites. Yet applying sunscreen and mosquito repellent to your child requires planning. If sunscreen and mosquito repellent must be applied to your child, make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when sunscreen and mosquito repellant should be applied and be sure to supply the sunscreen and mosquito repellant, label the bottles with your child's name and place them in a ziploc bag.

●      Apply sunscreen to your child at home in the mornings.

●      Bring a hat for your child if he/she is sensitive to the sun.
