Week of January 13th -17th !!!

Theme of the Month/Week (Tema del Mes/Semana): “The Universe and Me/El Universo y Yo”

The Sapitos are so excited learning a lot about our Solar System. We would like to thanks all our wonderful parents for being involved with the activities related to this theme and help their children accomplish their task with the sun, the planets, the moon, the stars and the outer space ships. The beautiful art work will be display on the wall of our classroom as an amazing decoration during the whole month.

This week our children will be learning about the comet, the astronaut, the outer space ship and the tool that helps people to observe the space: the telescope.

They will also learn about the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through books and an easy activity that will lead them to understand how people are all different on the outside, but the same on the inside.
