Week of:   March 28th, 1st April, 2016
Theme of the Week: “Knowing Latin-America”

We are happy to welcome you to a new and interesting week. From very young, children should be immersed in an education that will promote their general culture in terms of the diversity of races. This knowledge will allow them to develop skills, including: equality, respect, brotherhood, and solidarity, in addition to the sense of belonging to a society. Through these activities, children will know that diversity brings a wealth of information and experiences, learning a lot of different cultures to ours.

Vamos amiguitos
Vamos a tocar
Muchos instrumentos

Suena el tambor
Suena el violin
Suena la guitarra
Trin trin trin trin

Ahí vienen las maracas
Vamos todos a tocar
En esta linda orquesta
Que es fenomenal.

Se toca con dos palillos
Es un instrumento que suena fuerte

Es mi vestido tres colores
Tengo y el escudo llevo en mi corazón 
Soy el símbolo de la nación.

We are happy to welcome you to a new and interesting week.

Dentro de los temas impartidos en la educación infantil es de gran importancia incorporar el Conocimiento y valoración del país donde vivimos. Los niños serán capaces de conocer, lugares importantes, costumbres, algunas de las riquezas naturales y culturales de EEUU.  Mediante este conocimiento buscamos también construir la identidad nacional desde muy pequeños, fomentando el cuidado y protección de todo lo que constituye nuestro patrimonio.

Song of the week:
Canción
Yo nací en un lindo paísq1
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!

El país donde vivo 
Es mi hermoso hogar
Sus paisajes, los lugares
Todo luce fenomenal.

Yo lo quiero de verdad.

Tiene hermosos lugares
Para cuidar y visitar.
