Theme of the week: “How Things Work”

Week of May 18th-May 22nd

Hello Sapitos Parents,
The school year is almost over, we have a month left, and our Sapitos have grown a lot, physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally. They have learned new things and acquired so many skills that allow them now to be more independent and self-confident. We, as teachers, are very proud of all of them. We also have to recognize the tremendous effort of our wonderful parents, who have supported our job working with their children at home, without your help we couldn’t do this. 

As our Sapitos will continue developing their knowledge and curiosity through observation, exploration, and investigation about the great inventions, and how this inventions are so important in our daily life; this week, they will also be learning how social media helps us to communicate with each other, and how it can transform way we live.

On Friday our Sapitos will do some special activities to remember and honor the men and women who have died fighting for our country, in observance of Memorial Day.

Our goal is to make our children recognize and name social media, and the importance of using them in the right way.

Tips:

· Talk to your child about the importance of watching educational programs, instead of only cartoons, on TV or other devices

· Go to the NAEYC and Fred Rogers Center to get some guidance on best practices for technology, media, and early childhood.  We will also establish a “Framework for Quality” on how to determine quality media tools for your child.

Friendly Reminders: 

· Please, send an empty envelop with stamp this Monday. Your child will surprise you this weekend, check your mail box!

·  Spread the word to your family, friends, and coworkers. Everyone is welcome every Tuesday at 10.30 am during this month for a great Story Time at Sff!

· If you have a family member that serves in the US Army, Navy, or Air Force, please send a picture of him/her by Thursday to show our Sapitos in our special activity this Friday.

· Please, keep helping your child to practice writing his/her name, recognizing numbers (1-20) and vowels, at home. Thank you.

· As the weather is getting hot, if you would like to bring sunscreen for your child, please make sure fill out the form and bring it in a labeled Ziploc bag to give to one of the teachers.  Be sure to check the expiration date!
