Week 5 BDLC

This week we began our Halloween rhyme: Diez Calabazas

Diez calabazas

Listas estan

Viene la bruja

Y rapido se va

Ten pumpkins

They are ready

Here comes the witch

And quickly they go

Each child gets a pumpkin and each time we say the rhyme, Katie, dressed as a witch, grabs one of the pumpkins. Then we repeat the rhyme, practicing counting down.

We also began reading, listening to and acting out the rhyme, Cinco monitos:

Cinco monitos

Saltando en la cama

Uno se cayo y golpeo la cabeza

Mama llamo el doctor y el doctor le dijo,

"No mas monitos saltando en la cama."

Five little monkeys

Jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head

Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,

"No more monkeys jumping on the bed."

We also enjoy listening to this rhyme on the Sing Along with Boca Beth CD available at the Monroe County Public Library. We also like to say this rhyme while manipulating the feltboard pieces and by acting it out.
