Greetings Parents!
This week we continued our work on body parts, but also introduced a few new topics.
One of the kids' favorite songs that we've been working on for the past two weeks is Perro Sancho (Bingo).
Un perro grande tengo yo y el se llama SANCHO.
Ese-Ahh-Ene-Che-O, Ese-Ahh-Ene-Che-O, Ese-Ahh-Ene-Che-O y el se llama SANCHO.
Un perro grande tengo yo y el se llama SANCHO.
Clap-Ahh-Ene-Che-O, Clap-Ahh-Ene-Che-O, Clap-Ahh-Ene-Che-O y el se llama SANCHO.
Just like the Bingo version, after each round of the song, I remove a letter from our feltboard. With each repetition, a new letter is replaced with a hand clap through the six verses of the song. By the sixth verse, all the letters are replaced by hand claps.
Stories/Cuentos:
This week we introduced a new story: Los Tres Gatitos
Los tres gatitos (The Three Little Kittens) is a story adapted from the nursery rhyme. It tells the story of three little kittens who lose and then find their mittens. After they find their mittens, they are rewarded with pie, causing their mittens to get dirty. They are scolded again by their mother. This time they wash their mittens and are rewarded with a mouse.
This story allows us to reinforce some of the vocabulary that we have learned previously, including colors: the kittens are gris (grey), cafe (brown) and blanco (white) and the mittens are rojo (red), azul (blue) and verde (green). We also practice our numbers uno-seis as we count up the mittens. Finally we reinforce a few emotion vocabulary words: enojado/a (angry), triste (sad) and feliz (happy).

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.

Week 3 BDLC
Hi folks!
This past week we continued our study of the colors as well as some of the other topics we've been learning about (greetings, please, thank you, you're welcome).
Since everything that I introduced at the beginning of the class was brand new, we need to take a few weeks to continue to reinforce the material so that your children can begin to internalize it. Did you know that students need to hear each vocabulary word between 50-100 times in order to acquire them? In addition to this unit on colors, I will continue to pepper every story with questions about color throughout the entire year to further reinforce it.
We also briefly began our numbers 1-10 (something which we will also focus on in the coming weeks). We sang "Diez Deditos," which is sung to the tune of the 10 Little Indians. It goes like this: (and here's a link-- this song can be found on the CD "Diez deditos" at the library)
4, 5, 6 deditos
7, 8, 9 deditos
Cuéntalos conmigo
2 manitas, 10 deditos
2 manitas, 10 deditos
2 manitas, 10 deditos
Cuéntalos conmigo
1, 2, 3 little fingers
4, 5, 6 little fingers
7, 8, 9 little fingers
Count them with me
2 little hands, 10 little fingers
2 little hands, 10 little fingers
2 little hands, 10 little fingers
Count them with me
And finally, one of my favorite songs to use to cue the children that we need to be quiet because a story is coming is called, La lechuza (The Owl)-- sung to the tune of Frere Jacques.
Que dice, “shhhh,” que dice, “shhhh”
Todos calladitos, todos calladitos
Que dice, “shhhh,,” que dice, “shhhh”
That says, "shhhh," that says, "shhhh"
Everyone quiet, everyone quiet
That says, "shhhh," that says, "shhhh"
