Birthday Slip
Dear Pathways families,
Thank you for joining us for our End of the Year Celebration! Your presence made the day even more special for the children—they had a wonderful time dancing, laughing, and sharing their joy with you. It’s a day they’ll always remember!
This week, we continued experimenting with sound in creative and playful ways. Children listened closely to music and stories, explored how sound travels, and expressed what they heard through drawing, movement, and conversation. These experiences helped strengthen their listening skills, imagination, and understanding of the world around them.
Swimming classes:
PD - Ms. Nylda’s class will end next week .Please ensure your child brings a swimsuit they can put on independently, along with any necessary swimming equipment.
Thank you for all your support!

Learning Goal
How would you make a song about someone or somewhere special?
Children will develop their listening and singing skills as they explore different sounds and create a special song for a friend. They will also experiment with rhymes, incorporating them into their own musical compositions.
Encourage your child to share their special song with family members at home. Together, try to come up with new verses using rhyming words found around the house (e.g., “sock” and “rock,” “chair” and “bear”). You can also clap along to the beat or create simple instruments using pots and wooden spoons to accompany the song.
Learning Goal
¿Qué te recuerda esta historia?
Fomentar la comprensión lectora, la conexión personal con el texto y la expresión oral al relacionar una historia con experiencias propias.
Qué te recuerda esta historia?
Pueden escribir o dibujar juntos una experiencia y traerla a clase para compartir.
Learning Goal
How many sounds do you hear?
Children will develop their auditory discrimination and counting skills by listening carefully to a pattern of claps and identifying how many they hear.
Play “How Many Claps?” at home. A grown-up can clap from behind a door or while the child closes their eyes. Try using other household sounds—like spoon taps or hand taps on a table—and ask, “How many sounds did you hear?”
Learning Goal
How can we move like it sounds?
Children will explore how different sounds can be expressed through movement, helping them develop listening skills, creativity, and body awareness.
Invite children to try this activity at home with family members. They can use household items to create sounds (e.g., tapping a spoon, crinkling paper, shaking rice in a container), and then move like the sound. Families can take turns making sounds and guessing how to move like it.
Learning Goal
Relationship Skills: Practicing Teamwork and Collaborative Problem Solving
In this lesson, students learn how and why teamwork is important as they cooperate to build a car with materials. They learn that even when working together is difficult, there are things they can do to cooperate more productively.
Reinforce when tigers listen, share, and help during cooperative tasks!

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.
