Sapitos Classroom/ Miss Amparo

November 10^th   – November 14^th  

Theme of theWeek

My family (Mi familia)


Hello Sapitos Parents:
I want to share with you how proud I feel of our Sapitos working in the theme “My Family”. The first week, they did a beautiful art job of their families, and you have to see and hear them talking happily and expressing their thoughts about every member of their families. They are learning how to be respectful and obedient with Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and siblings. This week we will be talking about the family roles and how to be helpful at home.   


The Sapitos have already started working in their notebooks and they are doing very well, but still they need to practice at home to become mastered in their prewriting skills. In order to accomplish our goals, we will be sending home some homework to be done on weekends. Please encourage and help your children finish the task, and bring it back on Mondays.

Parent involvement in early childhood education is the key factor for child’s academic success, and staying connected with the classroom gives the parents ideas of how to expand at home what their children learn at school. I have to recognize the valuable effort and cooperation of our wonderful parents to be involved in all the activities of Sapitos classroom. Thank you/GRACIAS.


Although the sign-up sheet for the Family Story Time is already full, you or any member of your family can be involved in this activity during this month by letting me know your desire. I will be very happy to set up a date/time for you.

Tengo una familia
Tengo una familia y es fenomenal
Mi papa me ama mi mama igual
