Songs and Chants for Practice

 Dear Parents of K1,

The K1 Penguin Class has begun practicing our three selected songs for the upcoming singing competition. The children are very excited and already recognize the lyrics, as we have introduced these songs in previous lessons.

To help your child feel confident and prepared, we kindly ask that you support them by listening and singing along with the songs at home. They truly enjoy the music and are eager to perform.

I am so proud of each and every one of them. They are a bright, enthusiastic group of young learners, and it's a joy to see their confidence and love for singing grow each day.

Thank you for your continued support!

Unit 9 Pets

 Unit 9: Caring for Pets and Learning About Animals

In Unit 9, our K1 students will be exploring the theme of pets and animal care. Through engaging lessons, they will learn key vocabulary words such as dog, cat, fish, and rabbit. In addition, we will introduce them to farm animals, including sheep, cow, horse, and duck, to broaden their understanding of the animal world.

As part of this unit, students will also begin to understand the responsibilities that come with caring for a pet. They will learn about the basic needs of animals — water, food, and shelter — and why it is important to meet these needs to keep pets healthy and happy.

To reinforce their learning, we will use a variety of songs, chants, and interactive activities that will help students recognize animal names and develop language skills in a fun and memorable way. This unit aims to build not only vocabulary but also a sense of empathy and responsibility as students learn about how to care for living things.

We look forward to seeing the students’ excitement and curiosity as they explore this meaningful topic.
