Dear Parents,
This week we will begin working and learning about the diamond. The vocabulary words we are going to be focusing on are: kite, ring, traffic sign.

If you have any items at home that are with the shape of a diamond, SEND THEM OVER WITH YOUR CHILD and we will be discussing them in class, we will display them on a table and we will return them back on Friday, (I will be asking for your help in this please, because so far we haven´t received any items this last few weeks). Except for Christian Andree. And the objective of this activity is for the kids to play and learn, practicing vocabulary with their own toys.

We are also going to be comparing big and small objects.

Some of the stories that we will be reading this week are:

Our Nursery Rhyme this week is: “If you’re happy and you know it”

I am attaching you the link of the video of this song we will be learning throughout the week. We will learn two versions of this nursery rhyme. Just a little tip to have fun at home listening and acting out our song.

In Social Studies we will continue the unit about Community helpers. We are going to be discussing the different types of community helpers. Children will get the chance to name them and learn what they do. The vocabulary words we will be focusing are: Chef, doctor, vet, policeman firefighter, nurse teacher, farmer. If you have any books or posters, ideas or any other material that you would like to share with us it would be greatly appreciated.

To close our Community Helpers Unit we are planning on a Show and Tell Presentation that will be on thursday, february 01. Each child will be assigned with an occupation, they will have to answer the following questions. "What do I do?" "How do I transport?" "What tools do I use?" "Where do I work?" Children should come dressed as the community helper that they have been assinged. We are NOT demanding an expensive or fancy suit, it is up to you how and what you are going to use. Children should also bring a poster illustrating the questions, this will be a help while they present.
