Week of February 2nd-6th

Theme of the Week “Conociendo las Plantas” "Knowing Plants"

 

Hello Sapitos parents, I hope you had a great weekend! For this week my goal is for children to learn how plants grow. They will learn why it is important to be careful with plants that are around them. We will have fun activities which will help them understand that plants have a life cycle that includes various stages, such as: sprouting, developing roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, reproducing, and eventually dying.

The growth and development of a plant is one of the most spectacular events in nature. Yet, because it happens so slowly, over the course of days or weeks, it is difficult to observe in real time. For that reason, we will watch a video segment that depicts plant growth in a time-lapse format, allowing children to observe in just a few seconds some of the most important life stages of a plant, from germination to the formation of a flower, and several phases in between.

Song of the Week:

Canción de las Plantas

Un día en el parque jugando estaba

Con mis amigos de Sff,
Mire hacia el suelo, vi algo pequeño
La semillita yo vi pasar
Yo la tome con mucho cuidado
Y en una taza con amor la sembré,
Con tierra y agua creció mi plantita
Y muchas flores yo vi nacer.
Cuida tu alrededor,
A las plantitas respeta,
Por un mundo mejor cuida la naturaleza.

 Poem of the week 3

Mi plantita es muy bonita
Yo la tengo que regar
Cada día crece un poco
Por la luz que el sol le da
