Week of (Semana de): February 22^nd-26th

Theme of the Week (Tema de la Semana): “Science in my daily life” “Ciencia en mi vida diaria”

 

Dear Sapitos Parents,

I hope you have had a good weekend. We would like to start by saying THANK YOU to all the families who supported our Valentine’s Day Celebration and brought items for our afternoon snack. Children had a great time celebrating friendship!

For this week we will continue talking about science and experiments. Science helps children to develop skills for life such as perseverance, problem-solving and researching. Science develops patience in children. For that, we will make a sensory tray in which children will discover how magnets can attract metal objects and as the strength of a magnet to another magnet works. Also, we will make an experiment by mixing water with sand in one pitcher and water with sugar in another one. Then both pitchers will be placed in a refrigerator for 30 minutes. Children will discover which one will freeze first.

In addition, we will watch a video in which children will observe places in bad conditions (careless, dirty, and abandoned). After watch it we will discuss the things that they would like to do to get better those places. We also will encourage them to care the places that are around them such as their school, neighborhood, and community.

At home you can help your child by just doing a simple activity which helps them understand cause and effect, for example: flying a kite shows wind speed and direction.

Song:
