THE SOLAR SYSTEM/ EL SISTEMA SOLAR
Hi preschool families! Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we closed up our “Nursery Rhymes” unit remembering and singing the songs they learned during the month. It was a great topic, kids enjoyed all the songs they learned.
February is here and so is our new topic “Solar System.” This is one of my favorites topics! Kids love to talk about the solar system topic. This month they will learn the “formation of the Solar system” they will know that all the stars are formed within clouds of gas and dust. The objective of this month is that they will able to name the planets in order from the sun, to explain what would happen if the earth was a few centimeters closer to the sun. Students will be able to recognize the sun as our galaxy star. As well they, they will learn new vocabulary about our solar system topic.
