Dear K1 Parents,

We are excited to inform you that the K1 class will be participating in a Singing Competition in the coming weeks! This event presents a wonderful opportunity for your children to showcase their growing confidence, musical skills, and teamwork in front of an audience.

 

To prepare for the competition, we will be practicing the selected songs during our lessons. However, we kindly ask for your support and encouragement at home to help your child feel even more prepared and confident. Practicing at home, even for just a few minutes each day, will greatly contribute to their performance and overall experience.

 

Here are a few ways you can support your child’s preparation:

Encourage regular practice: Singing the competition songs at home can help boost their confidence and familiarity with the lyrics and rhythm.

 

Create a positive environment: Praise your child's efforts and let them know you’re proud of their hard work, no matter the outcome of the competition.

 

We believe that this competition will be a fun and enriching experience for the children, and your involvement plays a key role in their success. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to your child’s learning journey.

 

If you have any questions or need further details about the competition, please feel free to reach out to me.

 

Warm regards,

K1 Teaching Team

Thank you for attending our Parents Day 2025

 Thank you for attending Parents' Day 2025. It was a true pleasure meeting with each of you and sharing insights into your child’s learning journey in the K1 program. Our K1 students are a vibrant and inquisitive group, and their enthusiasm for learning through the Dora the Explorer English Program has been truly inspiring.

I am pleased to report that the students have successfully completed Units 1-5 of their Student Book in the first semester. They have made remarkable progress in self-introductions and learning basic vocabulary. To further enhance their language skills, I have been incorporating these new words into practical, everyday sentence patterns, helping them apply their knowledge to real-life situations.

As we move into the second semester, we will focus on Units 6-10. Music will continue to play a significant role in our lessons, as the students greatly enjoy learning through songs and chants. This interactive approach keeps them engaged and motivated, fostering a positive environment for language acquisition.

I would also like to encourage the use of English at home, even for just 5 minutes a day. Asking your child simple, specific questions about their day at school can significantly reinforce their learning. This additional practice will not only boost their confidence but also deepen their understanding of the language.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can make this semester a successful and enjoyable learning experience for your child.

Unit 6 My Day

 songs and chants

Dear Parents,

I am excited to inform you that our K1 Dora class will begin a new unit titled My Day. In this unit, the children will be learning important vocabulary words   "morning," "night," "nap time," and "bedtime." Through engaging activities, they will explore the differences between morning and night and how nap time differs from bedtime.

Additionally, students will be introduced to new vocabulary and sentence patterns that connect these keywords. We will incorporate songs and chants to make learning fun and interactive, helping to reinforce the concepts in a meaningful way.

Watching the children grow into inquisitive, confident learners has been truly rewarding, and I am excited to see how much they will continue to develop in this new unit.

Unit 5 TOYS

 

Teddy Bear Turn Around

Dear K1 Dora Parents,

As we approach the end of the semester, our K1 Dora class will be focusing on Unit 5: TOYS, which comes just in time for the holiday season! The students are excited to learn and share new vocabulary related to toys, and we will also be practicing simple sentence patterns to help them use these words in context.

In addition, we will continue learning chants and finger songs that are designed to build the students' vocabulary and boost their self-confidence in speaking English. These fun activities will help reinforce their language skills while making learning enjoyable and engaging.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to enhance your child's English learning experience!

Merry Christmas

Dear Parents and Families of K1 Dora Class,

The holiday season is upon us, and we are thrilled to invite you to our K1 Dora Class Christmas Show! Our wonderful students have been diligently practicing and preparing for their special performance, and we are excited to share their hard work with you.

On Friday, December 20th, at 6:30 PM, our little Penguins will take the stage to showcase their performance of 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town'. Over the past few weeks, the students have memorized the lyrics and actions of the song and have shown remarkable growth and confidence throughout the semester.

It has been such a joy to witness their dedication and enthusiasm, and we are incredibly proud of each and every one of them. We can't wait for you to see how much they have learned and how far they have come!

We look forward to celebrating the holiday spirit together with you at this very special event.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Dear K1 Parents,

The holiday season is upon us, and we are thrilled to announce that our K1 students have chosen a festive favorite, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," as their Christmas performance song and dance! This delightful number will not only showcase their growing confidence but also their showmanship and speaking skills.

To help your child prepare for this exciting performance, we encourage you to practice the song and simple dance moves at home. We’ve provided a video link to guide you in supporting them as they learn the lyrics and choreography. This will ensure that they feel comfortable and confident on stage.

Our K1 students are eager to perform their very first show just for you! Your encouragement and involvement will make this experience even more memorable for them.

We can’t wait to see you at the performance and share in the joy of the season together!

Warmest regards,
Ms. Jeannie
