Week 2 BDLC

This week we continued our work on all the topics from last week. In addition, we began our study of colors.

We sang the song, Yo veo los colores (or I See the Colors). This song helps us to practice important classroom vocabulary: siéntate, (sit down), date la vuelta, (turn around) párate (stand up) while also learning the colors and having fun!

Blanco, blanco yo veo blanco
Si tu llevas blanco, enséñamelo
Párate, enséñamelo
Date la vuelta
Siéntate

White, white, I see white
If you're wearing white, show it to me
Stand up, show it to me
Turn around
Sit down

The kids love finding tiny spots of each color on their clothing.

Colors:
blanco --- white
negro ---- black
rojo --- red
naranja --- orange
amarillo --- yellow
verde --- green
azul --- blue
morado --- purple
rosado --- pink
gris --- grey

Cuento (story)

This week we began work on Pájaro Cú (Cu Bird), a Mexican folk tale about a bird who doesn't have any feathers. He's very cold so he asked his bird friends to borrow feathers of every color. Finally, he asks the owl who says no. This story explains to us why the owl is nocturnal. Ask your kids to explain it to you! This is also a favorite for teaching please (por favor), thank you (gracias) and you're welcome (de nada).
