Birthday Slip
Dear Parents,
This week was filled with joy, gratitude, and community spirit. The children had a wonderful time celebrating Staff Appreciation Week, expressing kindness and thankfulness to the people who support them every day. We also enjoyed meaningful activities that strengthened our sense of belonging as a Pathways community, making it a truly special week.
Next week, we are excited to continue this positive energy as we prepare for our Holiday Show! The children are enthusiastic and eager to share their hard work, creativity, and talent with you. We look forward to an unforgettable and joyful celebration together.

Learning Goal
Which paper pieces will you transform?
Children will explore their creativity by choosing different paper pieces—big, small, colored, or textured—and transforming them into new creations. They can cut, tear, glue, and arrange the pieces to make shapes, objects, or anything their imagination inspires
Offer leftover paper from magazines, newspapers, or craft scraps and let your child create their own collage. Encourage them to talk about what they made and how they transformed the pieces.
Learning Goal
Como puedo crear figuras geométricas utilizando plastilinas y palillos?
Los niños crearán diferentes figuras geométricas usando palillos y plastilina para unir los extremos. Después, identificarán cuántas esquinas tiene cada figura, cómo es su forma y buscarán en el aula objetos que coincidan con esa misma figura.
Pueden seguir explorando formando figuras con palillos, sorbetes o pajillas, bloques o incluso lápices. También pueden buscar en casa objetos con formas geométricas y nombrarlas juntos.
Learning Goal
What fun ways can you move to the numbers?
Children will explore movement and numbers by playing hopscotch. First, they will enjoy the game as usual. Then, they will practice jumping to specific numbers—for example, “Jump on number 4!”—helping them connect movement, listening, and number recognition.
You can make a simple hopscotch with tape or chalk and call out numbers for your child to jump on. It’s a fun way to practice number recognition and coordination together!
Learning Goal
How can you measure animals?
Children will use Legos to measure different animal pictures by placing the bricks from head to tail. They can count how many Legos long each animal is, compare lengths, and use vocabulary like longer, shorter, and how many Legos long?
Children can measure toys, books, or objects around the house using Legos or blocks. They can make predictions, compare sizes, and talk about what is longer or shorter.

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.
