Week of November 2nd-6th

Ositos Class

Miss Amparo & Ms. Luz

Week of November 02^nd – November 06^th

Theme of the week: “Mi comunidad y yo /My Community and Me”

Dear Ositos Parents,

It is very important to talk to our children about the world around us and the people that help us. This week we will explain to our Ositos how a community can be small with only a few buildings and homes, or large with many buildings and homes. We will also teach them how the people in the community help each other by offering goods and services. At the same time, we will encourage our Ositos to show respect for the work they perform in each of their areas.

Our objectives by areas this week, are:
 Socio-emotional: Show solidarity with others.
Cognitive: Recognize and names of community helpers and the work they perform.
Psychomotor: Identify right/left in their bodies (gross motor). Cut shapes (fine motor).
Language: Say personal information (Name, age, address, parent’s name, and job).
Literacy Activity: Letter of the week “Mm”.

Tips:
·         Explain to your child what kind of job you have and how this job helps others.
·         Encourage your child to name the jobs of the community helpers (policeman, firefighter, doctor, nurse, constructor, grocer, etc.) and how they help other people.

PROFESIONES/ COMUNIDAD
Conozco mucha mucha gente en mi vida,
Que siempre ayuda con mucha alegría
Y si tú quieres conocer sus oficios
Jugando vamos a nombrarlos en un ratito.
Es la enfermera, es el cartero
Es la maestra de Sff
El policía y el bombero
Son los amigos que te cuidaran.

El carpintero y el arquitecto
Son los amigos que te ayudaran.

Homework of the week: 

Make sure to take your child’s notebook home this Friday to reinforce the activities that we are working in on class (LETTER Mm). Please bring them back on Monday.

Remember, kids are more successful in school when parents take an active interest in their homework — it shows kids that what they do is important.
