MARCH-APRIL NEWS BULLETIN

PRESCHOOL

Every child is an artist, as evidenced by our completed activity last month.  With your help, this has brought out the hidden talents of our students. Our dear parents, let us continue to work hand-in-hand for the better future of our children.

March is another exciting month for our students. We aim to reinforce the work skill training and value orientation of our preschoolers. We will expose them to a variety of experiences that are meaningful and relevant to their development. We will encourage them how to do simple household chores and practice them every day. You may choose one from the list that follows:

1. Dressing up: 

Let your child dress by him or herself such as wearing his/her underwear, shirts, shorts, and others. Allow them to develop the habit of doing things on their own.

2. Setting the dining table: 

Ask your child to help you in setting the dining table to reinforce their work skill training and value orientation.

3. Sandwich making: 

Involve your child in making your snacks for them to develop enjoyment of the fruit of their work.

4. Gardening: 

This activity will lead your child to love 

the environment. Allow them to gain knowledge and develop their skills that will transform their lives toward productive ends.

Doing these activities could help them to develop the skills that they have now and, sooner could use them in their daily life.

You may take pictures while doing the chosen activity and submit them to your class adviser’s email account on or before March 30, 2021.

Aside from these, the following activities are lined up for March and April:
