Week 30: My Country

SALON “OSITOS A”

Miss Mónica & Miss Gladys

Week 30from: March 2nd to 6th, 2015.

Theme of the Week: “My country”

Hello dear parents and welcome to a new month!  

We begin a new month, and we are very excited because we will teach a new topic to our Ositos: "My Country." During this week, our goal will be that children can learn where the United States is on the world map and in the American continent, which neighboring countries have, and the oceans that limit it. To encourage children to learn more about our country, we also will teach them about famous and known places that our country has at North, South, East and West. Children also will learn about the U.S. flag, its Colors and what its Stars mean, which its currency is, and about its traditional music. Moreover, because we believe that children should grow in a world where the diversity cultural is respected, we will encourage them to learn about different people that live in our country as well as to be respectful with them by valuing their traditions and culture. Also, children will continue to increase their Spanish vocabulary.

SONG OF THE WEEK: “CANCIÓN DE MI PAÍS”        

Yo nací en un lindo país

Con 4 estaciones

2 mares azules

Montañas y por venir

Yo soy feliz

Creciendo en este país

Aprendo respeto cuidado

y entrego lo mejor que hay en mí

En Sff! me enseñan muchas cosas de mi país

El respeto por mi amiguito

Me hace siempre un niño feliz (bis)

¡Que viva mi país!

POEM:

El país donde vivo 

Es mi hermoso hogar

Sus paisajes, los lugares

Todo luce fenomenal.

Yo lo cuido, Lo valoro.

Yo lo quiero de verdad.

TONGUE-TWISTER

Tantos ríos

Pocos puentes

Pocos ríos

Tantos puentes

Es el lugar donde vivimos

Es de todos nuestro hogar

Tiene hermosos lugares

Para cuidar y visitar.

FRIENDLY REMINDERS:

Please, remember to check if your child has a set of changing clothes at school. 

Every day, take home your child's journal, and on Wednesday your homework; please send it back on Monday.

Do not send toys that can be lost or damaged to school. If your child brings toys to share in class, please remember your child that he/she is responsible of it.

IMPORTANT! To work in our new project: “My country” (“Mi país”), we think that it will be amazing to share photos of our children and their families enjoying of different places around the different states, counties or cities. So, we encourage all of our Ositos' families to bring some photos this week. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your support, and have everyone a nice month!!!
