Let's Learn about Jobs!

In March, our preschoolers will begin to learn about jobs in their community, the places they work and the vehicles they use. Below are a few of the occupations we'll be learning about.

We'll also continue to practice our song "The Wheels on the Bus":



The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, 
the wheels on the bus go round and round all day long!









The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep,
the horn on the bus goes beep beep beep, all day long!





The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish, swish swish swish, swish swish swish,
the wipers on the bus go swish swish swish, all day long!








The doors on the bus open and close, open and close, open and close,
the doors on the bus go open and close, all day long!


The people on the bus go up and down, up and down, up and down,
the people on the bus go up and down, all day long!

The babies on the bus go wah wah wah, wah wah wah, wah wah wah,
the babies on the bus go wah wah wah, all day long!


The mommies on the bus go shh! shh! shh!
the mommies on the bus go shh! all day long!





The daddies on the bus say I love you, I love you, I love you,
The daddies on the bus say I love you, all day long!








At night the bus goes to sleep, goes to sleep, goes to sleep,
at night the bus goes to sleep, all night long!





Los oficios

En marzo, los alumnos de infantil comenzarán a aprender los oficios que vemos en nuestra comunidad. Verán dónde trabajan y qué transporte utilizan. Abajo verán Uds. algunos de los oficios que forman parte de esta unidad.
También seguirán con la canción que ven arriba, "The Wheels on the Bus".

Valentine's Day

In celebration of Valentine's Day, this week the students will be making their own Valentine's mailboxes to exchange Valentine's cards and candy on Thursday.
While Valentine's Day may be perceived as a special day only for couples or those in love, in United States it is actually a day to celebrate all relationships and friendships. It is a day to show how much we care about our family, teachers and classmates.
Students will also be watching the movie Clifford's Valentine's Day on Thursday.
This week, take a moment to show your loved ones how much you care!

Clifford's Valentine's Day

El Día de San Valentín

Para celebrar el Día de San Valentín, los niños están haciendo "buzones" de forma de corazón para poder meter las felicitaciones de San Valentín que intercambiarán el jueves. 
Este costumbre se lleva mucho en los Estados Unidos, ya que allí el Día de San Valentín no sólo simboliza el día de los enamorados, sino que también marca un día para agradecer todas las personas especiales que tenemos en nuestras vidas: los padres, los hermanos, los abuelos, los profesores, los amigos, etc.
Aparte de intercambiar las tarjetas de San Valentín, los niños verán la película Clifford's Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Esta semana los niños siguen con el tema del transporte. Para poder trabajar este vocabulario en casa, les dejamos con el libro de Reading A-ZGetting Around the City, un libro que habla de los distintos medios de transporte que utilizamos y que nos rodean en la ciudad. Además, repasa el vocabulario sobre la familia.


A continuación, encontrarán el enlace para poder descargar el libro. Así pueden imprimirlo y colorearlo en casa con los niños.
¡A ver cuántos medios de transporte pueden identificar!
