Weekly Featured Theme: My Body and Functions

🔠 What are we learning?

Dear Abejitas Parents,

This week we will continue learning about the human body and its functions. We have scheduled exciting learning activities related to this theme that will allow us also to continue strengthening fine and gross motor, cognitive-sensory and language skills.

We will play with the baby dolls, sing songs about the body, touch blue colored water and will make an art project for our babies. Children will also get hands and feet massage.

We will be also celebrating Grandparents on September 9th. It will be a fun week full of learning activities!

Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life.

Best Regards,

Miss Eliana & Miss Reyna

🎵 Songs of the Week

Las partes de mi cuerpo hoy yo voy a cantar,

Bailando con mis amigos,

Cada parte moverás.

Empiezo con mis bracitos

Con los que puedo abrazar, con mucho amor a papito

Y luego a mi mama.

Moviendo la cabeza yo digo sí o no.

Moviendo mi colita bailando yo estoy.

Ya todos preparados pues vamos aprender:

Las partes del cuerpo que tú vas a mover. (bis)

Piernas y cabeza.

Pies, brazos, cuello y cadera.

Hombros, manos y rodillas.

Pies, brazos y piernas. (bis)

📚 Poems, Riddles and Tongue Twisters

Riddle

Dos ojitos para mirar

Dos orejitas para escuchar

Una naricita para oler

Y una boquita que les gusta comer.

Poem

Saco mi manito

La hago bailar

La cierro la abro

La vuelvo a guardar

Saco otra manito

a hago bailar

la cierro la abro

la vuelvo a guardar.

Poem

Mi carita redondita

Tiene ojos y nariz

Y también una boquita

Para hablar y sonreir

Con los ojos veo todo

Con la nariz hago achiiis

Y con la boca yo como palomitas de maíz.
