Birthday Slip
Dear Parents,
Thank you for joining us at our first Open House! We truly appreciate your time and support; it was a wonderful opportunity to connect with you and share more about our learning journey.
This week, the children enjoyed a wonderful time exploring Patria activities, dancing, and celebrating together. It was a joyful way to conclude our Semana Patria celebrations, and we deeply appreciate your support. In addition, the children explored emotions through colors learning to identify and express feelings in creative ways.
We are so proud of all the learning and joy happening in the classroom, and we look forward to continuing this exciting journey with your children!
A Few Friendly Reminders:
Please pack an extra set of ANS uniform in your child’s backpack and ensure all personal belongings are labeled.
Kindly remember to pack a healthy snack for your child daily.
If possible, please send in any of the following items: old shoelaces
We wish you and your family a beautiful Semana Patria break filled with joy and special moments together!
Warmly,
Pathways Team

Learning Goal
The children will reflect on something special they want to share — it can be a toy, a favorite food, a pet, or even a happy moment. They will then draw their idea and talk about it with their classmates, helping them practice self-expression, confidence, and communication skills.
At home, children can choose something they would like to share with their family — for example, a toy, a drawing, or a story from their day. They can explain why it’s special to them, reinforcing self-expression and building stronger family connections.
Learning Goal
Los niños recorrerán la escuela en busca de objetos que empiecen con la letra M. Luego dibujarán lo que encontraron y harán una lista sencilla de los objetos descubiertos. Esta actividad fortalece la observación, la creatividad y las primeras habilidades de lectoescritura de una manera divertida e interactiva.
En casa, los niños pueden buscar objetos que empiecen con la letra M dentro de su hogar (como mesa, mochila o muñeca). Después, pueden dibujarlos y compartirlos con la familia, reforzando así el reconocimiento de sonidos iniciales en palabras.
Learning Goal
Children will solve a math story by adding teddy bears (2 + 4). They will count, act it out, and find the answer: 6 teddy bears!
Families can make simple math stories with toys or snacks, like “You have 3 cookies, and I give you 2 more. How many now?”
Learning Goal
Children will build towers using blocks and explore which ones stay up and which ones fall. They’ll learn about balance, size, and stability while experimenting and having fun!
Parents can encourage children to build towers with blocks, cups, or LEGO, and observe which designs are stronger or topple. They can talk about why some fall and some don’t, encouraging problem-solving and creativity.
Learning Goal
Self-Awareness: Identifying One’s Emotions
In the lesson, tigers will learn that we can recognize emotions based on how we look, sound, and move on the outside and feel in the inside. We are going to do feelings faces puzzles and discuss different facial fetures of the emotions.
Model for kids how to identify emotions: “[Name], I see you frowning and slouching in your chair. Are you feeling sad?”
- Pack an extra ANS uniform with labeled belongings.
- Send a healthy snack daily.
- Optional: Please send old shoelaces.
We wish you and your family a beautiful Semana Patria break filled with joy and special moments together!

Children at this young age thrive in a joyful, fun-filled environment where their days are filled with laughter, song, and love.
Children connect best with real and authentic learning experiences that are grounded in nature, family, and community.
Children at this young age are fascinated with nature and how the world works, so we want them to explore, discover, question, and research their world.
