Rimas Infantiles
This week we continued with Nursery Rhymes/ Rimas Infantiles. We worked with Estrellita, ¿dónde estás?/ Twinkle, twinkle little star.
Spanish version:
Estrellita, ¿dónde estás?, me pregunto quién serás,
Estrellita, ¿dónde estás?, me pregunto quién serás.
En el cielo o en el mar. Un diamante de verdad.
Estrellita, ¿dónde estás?, me pregunto quién serás.
Estrellita, ¿dónde estás?, me pregunto quién serás.
En el cielo o en el mar. Un diamante de verdad.
Estrellita, ¿dónde estás?, me pregunto quién serás.
English version:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high. Like a diamond of the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high. Like a diamond of the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
This was a fun rhyme for the kids. Playing with Spanish Rhymes, children explore the mechanism of language while building their vocabulary and developing sounds. We had fun with different activities related to the rhyme Estrellita, ¿dónde estás?/ Twinkle, twinkle, little star. We sang songs, made shining star crowns, and drew a city or houses with a blue sky, moon and stars in the sky. They were very excited doing these activities and sang the songs throughout the crafts.
Las letras y los números
This week during our letter study we learned all about the letter Ff/ letra F f. Be sure to point out this when you are reading or when you are out and about. The English letter name can be pronounced as, F (ef). While the Spanish letter name is; F (eh feh). Some examples of Spanish words beginning with the letter F are: foca/seal, foco/lightbulb, fútbol/soccer, falda/skirt, frío/cold.
We also worked with the number 11. The kids did an excellent job counting 1 through 11. We did different activities with this number such as counting and recognizing the number through dots, as well as combining playing dice.
The Wednesday morning class also had the very fun experience of joining the Kindergarten music class with el señor Kit. It was a blast!!! (Señor Kit has been a bilingual teacher for….a very long time. He currently is the SWS music teacher but he also does a great job filling in for our Spanish teachers, as needed. He has also previously been a long-term preschool substitute for us. We plan to have him teach the Monday/Wednesday AM class for a few weeks when Maestra Mackey has her baby. Having the Wednesday class join the music class is a great way to introduce the children to him so they are comfortable during the brief time Maestra Mackey is gone.)
