Birthday Slip
Dear Pathways Families,
This week, we were excited to begin Unit 4, where children explored the stories that live inside their imaginations. They enjoyed creating their own stories using playdough, building characters, and expressing their ideas in creative ways.
The children also continued caring for our tomato plants and had the special experience of tasting their first ripe tomato! This hands-on moment helped them connect learning with real-life experiences and appreciate the value of caring for nature.
Next week, we will continue working on Unit 4, focusing on storytelling through play, creativity, and exploration.
Reminders:
Jornada Dariana Show: February 6, from 8:45–9:45 a.m. Parents are warmly invited to join us. Please remember to sign up for the event.
Uniform Reminder: Students are expected to wear the official ANS sweater, as it is part of our school uniform and outlined in the handbook.
Afterschool Activities & Tiger Club will begin on Monday, January 26th.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to another wonderful week of learning together!
With care,
Pathways Team
Learning Goal
What Mysteries Await Under the Sea?
Children will explore the ocean world through stories, pictures, and creative play. They will imagine sea creatures, learn about life under the sea, and create their own underwater scenes using art and sensory materials, developing curiosity and imagination.
Children can look at ocean books or videos, draw their favorite sea animals, and talk about what they think lives under the sea. Families can encourage children to create their own ocean stories.
Learning Goal
Juguemos con los Sonidos y las Letras
Los niños conocerán a Rubén Darío a través de actividades lúdicas. Leeremos un cuento corto sobre su vida y su imaginación, y luego realizarán un rompecabezas relacionado con Rubén Darío y su mundo.
Los niños pueden leer un cuento corto o ver imágenes sobre Rubén Darío con su familia y conversar sobre lo que más les gustó. También pueden hacer un dibujo sencillo inspirado en la historia o en el rompecabezas que realizaron en clase.
Learning Goal
Where Should This Character Be?
Children will practice using prepositions like on, under, in, behind, and next to by placing story characters in different positions. Using pictures and props, they will recreate a simple story, describing where each character is located. This helps develop language, spatial awareness, and storytelling skills.
Children can place toys around the house (on the table, under the chair, next to the bed) and describe where they are. Families can also use picture books to talk about where characters are in the story.
Learning Goal
What Story Can You Make Using Your Five Senses?
Children will create simple stories using their five senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste). Through pictures, objects, and imagination, they will describe what they see, hear, feel, and smell in their story, helping them express ideas in a creative and meaningful way.
Children can tell a short story about something they experienced using their senses, like a visit to the park or a family meal. Families can ask questions such as: What did you see? What did you hear? What did you smell?
Learning Goal
How do we welcome others?
In his lesson, tigers will get to know a new puppet and have a discussion about how to to make others feel welcomed, we are going to have a conversation about how to be kind, respectful and include others.
Have conversations using these questions: How do we make others feel welcomed? How can you invite friends to play? How are you kind to others?

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.
