Many of the children know the colors in Spanish now, so we can read books that incorporate the colors and they can talk about what they see on the pages. This week we read another wonderful book that is another I recommend adding to your Spanish library. Some of the vocabulary is a little more advanced, but the vibrant pictures and sweet story make this one very fun to read. The chameleons in this book express some emotions, so I was able to introduce "está feliz" (he is happy) and "está triste" (he is sad). We had fun making the faces for these emotions, but I wouldn't expect your child to remember these words yet. This is vocabulary we will learn next year!
We did an activity where a chameleon changed color according to clothes the children were wearing and colorful foods we have used in recent lessons. Many of the children could look at a yellow lemon, for example, and tell me that the chameleon would be turning "amarillo." It thrills me to hear the children answering questions in Spanish. And their accents are really good!
Here's the book we read:
