El horario de verano es el tiempo de descanso, relajación, juego y familia. ¡Animo a todos a jugar este verano! ¡Juega adentro, juega afuera y juega en todas partes! Jugar es aprender, así que aliéntelos a alejarse de las pantallas y disfrutar del hermoso verano. He incluido un paquete que incluye 4 semanas temáticas y tiene actividades motoras finas, motoras sensoriales y motoras gruesas. En su tiempo libre puede usar el paquete como un recurso. Comuníquese con cualquier pregunta y avíseme si hay algo en lo que quiera trabajar específicamente durante el verano y estoy feliz de compartir recursos.
