I hope you are doing well. This week we will learn about “The Plants”/“Las Plantas”. This topic is very interesting and the children are sure to enjoy it! We will do projects as the bean we have planted germinates. Also, we will be going on an adventure around the school looking for different kinds of flowers.

Our goal for this week is to help our Monitos understand why plants are so important!

Cancion de las plantas:
un dia en el parque jugando estaba
con mis amigos de sff
mire hacia el suelo, vi algo pequeno
la semillita yo vi pasar
yo la tome con mucho cuidado
y en una taza con amor la sembre
con tierra y agua sembre mi plantita
y muchas flores yo vi nacer
cuida tu alrededor
y las plantitas respeta
por un mundo mejor cuida la naturaleza

 Poem / Poesia
mi plantita es muy bonita
yo la tengo que regar
cada dia crece un poco mas
por la luz que el sol le da.

 Poem/Poesia
semillita semillita
que con agua y luz del sol
te convertiste en una plantita
con muchas hojas y una flor.

 Adivinanza/ Riddles
Verde soy
huelo muy bien
crezco con flores, plantas
y arboles tambien.

ANIMALES DE LA SELVA
Los animales que hay en la selva
Tu los vas a repetir,
Algunos gordos otros muy altos
Igual nos vamos a divertir
El elefante que esta muy grande
Y la jirafa que alta es
Y el monito que salta y salta
El cocodrilo... me va a morder
Los animales....
Es el leon que esta enojon
Es la serpiente que es muy decente
Y la tortuga come lechuga
Y el raton (donde esta el raton )
Ya se escondio

Cancion de los animals de la granja:
Mi abuelita tiene una granja bella
Con animalitos y flores muy bellas
Ahora este jueguito de imitar sonidos
Tu lo haces primero y luego tu amiguito
El perrito ladra’
El gato maulla
El gallito canta
La vaca estornuda
El conejo salta
El caballo trota
Y los pajaritos la cancion entonan.
