CURRICULUM NEWS:
WHAT DID WE LEARN THIS WEEK?
We make a tour at the school, in order to know the differents places: cafeteria, office, restroom...
We have played game for names, we have danced, and we have known new spanish song for instance: "buenos días" "a recoger a recoger", "días de la semana", "meses del año"...
It is important that when children paint or write at home, they take the pencil correctly (with index finger and thumb) We have a song to remember that, it is:
"Este es el piquito de mi pajarito. Come, come, come y se va. " Maybe you can sing too!
