Dear Parents,
Our theme of this coming week is “My Country.” We introduce the importance of the most common symbols of our country to our Monitos, using items like: the flag, the forest, and the eagle. This is a very important theme because is a great opportunity to let them know about the county where we live. At the same time we will have an art activity, gross and fine motor skill development, and our daily story time where the Monitos can increase their Spanish vocabulary.

At home you can show them some of the symbols and talk about what city and country you are from and what city or country they were born.
