🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Ositos Parents,

This week we will learn to be little gardeners and we will discuss about nature, trees and plants. We will continue creating safe learning environments that offer the children the opportunity to explore and experiment with nature. We have scheduled exciting learning activities that will allow us to continue strengthening motor and cognitive-sensory skills such as planting flower seeds in our own pots to decorate our garden, collecting dry leaves to create a collage, creating a flower with clay, having a camping day and visit the Flower Shop at Sff! that will be located in the lobby.

Thank you once again for all your support and for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life.

Best Regards,

Miss Amparo and Miss Claudia

 

📄 Materials for Special Projects/Activities

●      Bring a pot for Monday’s activity.

●      Bring a hat, flashlight, water bottle, small tent (if you have any of these items at home) and a snack.

●      Bring a real flower from your garden or an artificial one for Flower Shop Day.

●      Have your child wear swimsuit, splashers or swim diapers and water shoes for Splash Day. Bring a towel and a plastic bag for wet items. Pack all these items in a tote bag for your child. We recommend to label the bag, swimsuit, towel and shoes with your child’s name.

🔆 Friendly Reminders

●      Check your child’s cubby and remove everything and bring new set of clothing that is appropriate to sunny weather.

●      Sunscreen and mosquito repellant are important to protect your child because he/she is very susceptible to sunburn/mosquito bites. Yet applying sunscreen and mosquito repellent to your child requires planning. If sunscreen and mosquito repellent must be applied to your child, make sure to fill out an administration or authorization form specifying when sunscreen and mosquito repellant should be applied and be sure to supply the sunscreen and mosquito repellant, label the bottles with your child's name and place them in a ziploc bag.

●       If you have a little tent at home please bring it on Wednesday for our Camping Day.

●      Apply sunscreen to your child at home in the mornings.

●      Bring a hat for your child if he/she is sensitive to the sun
