Week of October 19^th – October 23^rd

Theme of the Week: “Mi Familia / My Family”

Dear Ositos Parents,
Fall is a wonderful season that brings lots of colors while the leaves change. Children have many opportunities to discover and learn while they explore this season. Our theme this week is "My Family". Our Ositos will have the opportunity to talk about the people most important to them. This theme also will help them to realize that family(The people we live with) is something we all have in common, regardless of how our families look. This knowledge will help to stimulate your child's self-esteem, security, love, understanding, and respect for each family member.

Our objectives, by area, this week are:

Socio-emotional: How to develop social skills as a member of a family.

Cognitive: Seriation, classification, measurement.
Psychomotor: Develop fine motor skills.
Language: Phonological awareness.
Literacy Activity: Learn the letter “Oo”.

Tips:
·         Talk to your child about the different types of families.
·         Encourage your child to be an active member of the family by giving him/her some responsibilities (help to set the table, clean the toys, fold the clothes, etc.).
·         Talk to your child about family values.

Homework of the week: 

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

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

Special Events, Welcome and Birthdays (Eventos especiales, Bienvenidas y Estudiante de la Semana):

Our Student of the Week is SOPHIA DE AMAT, We can’t wait to know everything about you (favorite toy, book, food, dessert, places to go, etc.

Friendly Reminders:

·         TOTE BAGS: As you have noticed, the cubbies in our classroom are not big enough to have all your child’s belongings, especially now when the weather is getting colder and we have extra clothes (blanket, jacket, gloves, hat, scarf, etc.) Because of sanitation rules, we can’t let the jackets touch each other when they are hanging. That is the reason we kindly are asking you to bring a labeled tote bag (not plastic) so we can only store your child’s jacket and other winter clothes if it is necessary. The tote bag will remain at school. We will really appreciate your help.

·         Please sign up our “The Student of the Week” sheet that is outside the classroom.

·         We would be very pleased to have our Ositos’ family members for Story Time. Let us know if you would like to join us at 11:45 am, any day of the week.

·         There will be a signup sheet outside the classroom for your donation to our Trick or Treat. The treats must be nut free (please avoid hard candy or any choking hazard item). Some examples of treats are: juice boxes, crackers, stickers, tattoos, play dough, bubbles, etc.

·         For our pretend play family activities (as Dad, Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, etc.), we will need old fashion men’s and woman’s clothes, toy jewelry, toy phones, glasses, a doll house (if it is possible). Please bring them on Monday and we will return all these things at the end of the week. Thank you for your support.
