Dear Parents,
 
We hope you are having a beautiful week. This month our theme is “The Animal Kingdom”. This coming week we will learn everything about pets and insects.
We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. We will look at flashcards of animals and they explore to play with stuffed animals. Children will participate in fun activities such as stomping, playing catch, and using our pincer grasp.
 
Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.
 
Miss Luisa
