¿Cómo es?

Today we continued to practice parts of the face and body parts. Many of the children are getting good at naming the body parts and singing the songs!

We played with Mr. Potato Heads today. The children had to ask for ojos, nariz, boca (they asked for 'lengua' or 'dientes' depending on whether they wanted a tongue or teeth), pies. I was thrilled to hear their little voices saying the words very well. Even the youngest children used the Spanish words. We also had the "Cabezas de papa" dance, jump, and go up/down/in front/behind. Many of the children had them jump or dance on their own while saying "salta" or "baila". Such fun!

In most classes we made puppets with paper eyes and a straw. We used those eyes to make a hand puppet (make a fist, your thumb becomes the mouth and the eyes stick between your first two fingers.)

Finally, we sang "Cabeza Tiene Pelo", another favorite! This is one that will stick in your mind all day. Play a little of this and see if your child pats his/her head and sings along.

My daughter, Anna Grace loves spanish class! When we tell her it is thursday and time for school she tells us that she has Spanish today - so glad that you have this blog bc there are days she comes home and I am not sure what words she has learned in class - mommy took spanish a long time ago and had to pull out the old books bc she wants to know how to say so many words in spanish.
Thanks for all that you do!
