Week of ( Semana de): February 22nd-26th

Theme of the Week (Tema de la Semana): “How things work” – Science in the daily life

Dear Ositos Parents:

This week Sff! will host the Science Fair Week, you will have the opportunity to appreciate some scientific experiments in which your children have been carrying out research and critical thinking.

At the same time, our Ositos will be learning everything about magnets, how they have two poles, how they attract each other, how they repel or push away, and what a magnetic field is. They will also be learning about elements that can combine or mix, and the importance of the 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle).

Our objectives by areas this week are:

Socio-emotional: Work in a team.

Cognitive: Group numbers in 10’s up to 50.

Psychomotor: Recognize left and right side of the body.

Language: Identify words that star with the same syllable.

Literacy Activity: Letter of the week “Ff”.

 

Tips:

·         Play with your child “go fishing” with magnets.

·         Teach your child how to take care of the environment.

·         Talk to your child about the importance and benefits of recycle.

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 Ff). 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.
