Theme: The Animal Kingdom

 Dear Abejitas Parents

This week our Abejitas will start learning about the animal kingdom. We have planned lots of fun activities such as playing with toy animals and trying making different sounds. As always we will continue working fine and gross motor skills as this is a very important part in your child’s development.

We also would like to ask for your help with short stories reading at home. You can also help us by nurturing your child’s curiosity by showing pictures of animals. Children learn so much more through activities that capture their attention and imaginations.

During class, our little ones will enjoy dancing and singing the song “Animales de la Selva”.  This is a song about animals, animals’ shapes and sounds and what food they need to survive. Please encourage your child to listen to this song at home too. This is one of several new songs featuring our new Sff! CD.

Song of the Week

Animales de la Selva

Los animales que hay en la selva

Tú los vas repetir

Algunos gordos otros muy altos

Igual nos vamos a divertir.

El elefante que está muy grande

Y la jirafa que alta es

Y el monito que salta y salta

El cocodrilo… me va a mordre

Los animales……..

Es un león que esta enojón

Es la serpiente que es muy decente

Y la tortuga come lechuga

Y el ratón (donde está el ratón?)

Ya se escondió.

Los animales

Rhyme #1

Coco coco cocodrilo

En el río está tranquilo

Rhyme #2

Ele ele elefante

En la trompa lleva un guante

Fingerplays

Este compro un huevito

Este lo cocinó

Este le puso sal

Este lo revolvió

Y este pícaro chiquitito

Se lo comió

We hope everyone had a great week.

We have already scheduled different activities that will allow children to continue developing different areas such as language, gross motor, fine motor, cognitive, sensory and social emotional.

In our class, our little ones will enjoy dancing and singing the song “Las Plantas”.  The song lyrics is about how the plants grow, what kind of habitat they need to live in and how to take care of them. Parents, please encourage your child to listen to this song at home too. This is one of several new songs featuring our new Sff! CD.
