In this reflective activity, children will talk about their favorite memories from the school year—like special friends, fun activities, or things they learned. They will express their ideas through drawings and simple sentences, celebrating all the joyful moments they experienced!i

Invite your child to look at photos or drawings from the school year and talk about their favorite memories. You can create a simple “memory book” together with drawings or short notes about what they loved most.

Los niños crearán pequeños personajes usando materiales como vasos, papel y luz de lámparas para proyectarlos en la pared. A través de estos personajes, inventarán una historia corta, usando sonidos (como palmadas, golpes suaves o instrumentos) para representar acciones, emociones o eventos dentro del cuento. Así desarrollan su imaginación, comprensión auditiva y expresión creativa.

Pueden usar una linterna y objetos sencillos (como muñecos o figuras recortadas en papel) para contar una historia en la pared. Anímenlos a acompañarla con sonidos hechos con su voz, manos o utensilios seguros. ¡Una forma divertida de reforzar el lenguaje y la creatividad en familia!

children will explore musical instruments by comparing their sizes, weights, and lengths using simple tools like strings, blocks, or their hands. This helps them build early math skills while having fun with sounds and shapes!

Encourage your child to find musical instruments or household objects (like boxes or containers) and compare their sizes using strings, blocks, or even their hands. Talk about which ones are longer, shorter, heavier, or lighter. This helps build early math and observation skills in a fun, hands-on way!

Children will explore how sound changes when we hit different objects. Using items like drums, boxes, metal pans, or plastic containers, they’ll observe how each material creates a unique sound. This helps them understand that sound can vary depending on what an object is made of.

Invite your child to gently tap on different safe objects (like a pillow, a pot, a wooden spoon, or a plastic cup) and talk about how each one sounds. Ask questions like “Is it loud or soft?” or “Does it sound high or low?” This playful activity builds curiosity and awareness about sound in their everyday environment.

This week we are going to make cards for our friends and our future selves in kindergarten. 

Tigers will also share a simple snack with their friends while we reflect on their growth over the year in Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). As they enjoy their treats together, we'll discuss how much they've developed in their ability to understand and express their emotions, work cooperatively, and navigate social situations with kindness and empathy. This moment allows them to celebrate their progress, from learning how to solve problems together to recognizing their feelings and managing them in healthy ways. Please bring an extra snack to share. 

Tigers can reflect on how they’ve developed throughout the year—whether it’s in understanding their emotions, building friendships, or handling challenges.
