Week 26 from: February 2nd – 6th 2015
“Conociendo las plantas  –  Knowing the plants“
Dear parents,
Welcome to February and to a new and interesting learning week.  This month, children will learn about plants. My goal is for them to learn to identify their main parts of the plants, their growth process, and how can we protect them in our daily routine.   

Song of the Month: “Cancion de las Plantitas”  
Un día en el parque jugando estaba
Con mis amigos de SFF
Mire hacia el suelo, vi algo pequeño
La semillita yo vi pasar
Yo la tome con mucho cuidado
Y en una taza con amor la sembré
Con tierra y agua creció mi planta
Y muchas flores yo vi nacer
Cuida tú alrededor,
A las plantitas respeta,
Por un mundo mejor cuida la naturaleza.
Nursery Rhymes
Mi plantita es muy bonita
Yo la tengo que regar
Cada día crece un poco
Por la luz que el sol le da

Riddle
Verde soy
Huelo muy bien
Crezco con flores, plantas
Y arboles también.
(La hoja)

Star Words of the Week:
La planta – the plant
La semilla – the seed
El tallo -  the stem
La raiz - the root
La hoja – the leaf
La flor – the flower

Ya se escondio
