Dear Ositos Parents,

We will continue learning about our body. This week our children will have special hands-on learning activities and educational videos to help them understand the basics of some important systems of our body. They will learn why we should take care of our body with healthy habits. They will have the opportunity to listen to Dr. Randolph Scott and participate in a vaccination activity with Dr. Andy Jakubowicz.

Our Ositos will also have a surprise to honor that special people called “Grandparents” on Friday, September 11^th.

Our objectives by areas this week, are:

Socio-emotional: Understand how our body works and the importance to take care of it.

Cogntive: Locate objects and identify dimensions.

Psychomotor: Develop small muscles in the hand to learn the proper pencil grip.

Language: Identify vowels in their name and in other words.

Literacy Activity: Rhymes.

Tips: You can take your child to the Museum of Life and Science to visit its human body section. At home, you can explain your child how to stay away from germs by doing a proper handwashing, take a shower, and brush their teeth and so on. You can also help your child reinforce the body parts by singing “Head, shoulders, knees and toes”
