Week of August 19th - 23rd !!!

Hola ositos parents:
We hope that each of you have had a nice week!
We want to let you know that Miss Kenia and I, are very proud of our Ositos, their first week of school has been fantastic! They are doing great adapting to the new classroom, teachers, and rules.  Everyone is following the routine successfully and this is our fist step toward a good learning.  Good job our ositos!!
Next week we will continue talking about the theme, Spanish for fun! and me.  We will give emphasis to the use of the calendar; days of the week, numbers and months of the year.  Also, every day we will be talking about the rules of the classroom and their importance.  This week the children have had a good behavior.  Keep it up!
The words of the week are:
el calendario-the calendar
los numeros-the numbers
Los dias de la semana-The days of the week
Los meses del ano-The months of the year
we will continue working with the words of this week.

Special events:
Congratulations to our first girls who celebrate their birthday in our new school year, Madeline and Valentina Agudelo, Feliz Cumpleanos!!!

Homework:
After observing the children this week in all areas of  their development, we noticed most children show difficulty writing their names; therefore we will need all your support by helping your child to hold the pencil appropriately and write her/his name using uppercase letter and lowercase letter. Knowing this and working on it from the beginning will be a good start.
 Notes:
Sign up sheets are exposed near the classroom entrance for Student of the, Traveling pet and other activities. Please remember to sign up, Thank you!

Have a great weekend!
