¡Bienvenidos familia,
amigas, y amigos! Welcome! During
our previous clase de Español, it was Matthew’s turn to choose our
destination to a Spanish speaking country. Following our morning salutations,
he suggested we head over to Mexico.
In order to review
the Spanish vocabulary for some of the modes of transportation that may (or may
not) take us there, a picture of a particular style of transport was held up
for los Catbirds to see. As each picture was
shown, los Catbirds were asked,¿Vamos en esto? (Are
we going on this?). But no one can trick those Catbirds. They not only knew what mode of
transportation we would need to get all the way to Mexico, but they also
knew the name of the vehicles in Spanish! For example, when a picture of
a boat was held up and los Catbirds were asked if that is how
we will get there (¿Vamos en esto?), they would answer, “¡No. No bote!” Try them! Ask any Catbird how to say any of
the following in Spanish:
carro - car
bote - boat
bicicleta - bicycle
tren – train
avión – airplane
Afterwards, we practiced saying the lyrics to
one of the songs we will be singing at our Spring Program. It is a traditional
Latino lullaby titled, Arroro mi niño. And, what’s a great way for us to practice
singing a lullaby? Singing it to our “lovey”, that’s how!
We finished our class with our
traditional song, Adios, hasta luego, and
Matthew squeezing la vaca. ¡Gracias, Matthew!
¡Hasta nuestro proximo viaje!
Paz,
Alicia

paz,
