Week of November 30^th – December 4^th

Theme of the week: “Mis Tradiciones Familiares /My Family Traditions”

Hello Ositos Parents,

As members of a family and community, we are involved in different traditions and special events during the year. Through this theme we want to help our children to understand when and why we celebrate these special events, which elements are involved and what are the characteristics of every one.

This month we will have the Holiday Party, and our Ositos had already started with the rehearsals for this big event. Please congratulate them for their efforts.

Our objectives by areas this week are:
Socio-emotional: Name familiar traditions.
Cognitive: Copy geometric shapes: Circle, square, triangle and rectangle.
Psychomotor: Cut in circular motion
Language: Identify words that start with the same syllable.

Literacy Activity: Letter of the week “Tt”.

Tips:

·         Encourage your child to sing and dance “Dulce Navidad” at home.

·         Talk to your child about your familiar traditions and how you celebrate them.

Song: The children will enjoy singing the songs of Sff! CD

 Poesía

Yo soy un indiecito
Orgulloso de mi raza
Uso plumas de colores
Y lanza para la caza.

Remando voy en mi balsa
Para buscar alimentos
Sabrosos peces y frutas
Aves que me trae el viento.

Adivinanza 1
Soy una hortaliza anaranja y sabrosa
En ocasiones me dibujan muy tenebrosa
 La calabaza

Trabalengua
Señora compre coco
No compro coco porque como poco
Como poco
Coco compro

 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 (LETTER Tt). 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.

Our Ositos will be working very hard this week for their performance in the big event on December 16.
