I have decided to create this blog, not just to keep you informed of what happens in class each day, but also to provide links and web sites that will serve as an extra resource to encourage your child's success in Spanish. Occasionally, I will include some cultural elements that I find fascinating which you may, in turn, choose to share with your children at your discretion. Finally, I would like to say "gracias" for the privilege of teaching your wonderful children. Everyday I leave impressed with their progress, amused by their questions and anecdotes and excited about what we will learn next.

14.11.2011 & 15.11.2011

This week we started 2 completely unrelated themes: a Christmas song and body parts. After a couple of attempts at different songs, we are going to go with "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano this year at this point with the rapidly approaching Christmas program.

Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero año y felicidad

Feliz Navidad (Merry Christmas)
Feliz Navidad (Merry Christmas)
Feliz Navidad (Merry Christmas)
Prospero año y felicidad (A prosperous year and happiness)

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart

Next, our body parts song:

Cabeza y hombros
(Heads and shoulders based upon the heads, shoulders, knees and toes)

Cabeza y hombros, rodillas y pies, rodillas y pies,
Cabeza y hombros, rodillas y pies, rodillas y pies,
Ojos, orejas, boca y nariz,
Cabeza y hombros, rodillas y pies, rodillas y pies.

Head, shoulders, knees and feet, knees and feet
Head, shoulders, knees and feet, knees and feet
Eyes, ears, mouth and nose,
Head, shoulders, knees and feet, knees and feet

*They say feet instead of toes because toes is just too long to fit into the song.

We will continue to work on the Christmas song through the Christmas program. Thanks and have a nice week.
