¡Bienvenidos familia, amigas y amigos de los
Catbirds! This week was Callum’s, a.k.a. Super Boy’s, turn to choose our
destination for our Spanish language experience. After glancing at the map that
shows all the countries where Spanish is the primary language spoken, “Super
Boy” aimed for México. Once we
determine our mode of transportation (avión),
we headed towards this country whose official name is Estados Únidos Mexicanos (United Mexican States).

Once settled comfortably
in a círculo, los Catbirds were introduced to los
cinco sentidos, the five senses. Since we have been learning the Spanish vocabulary
for some body parts as well as facial components, we thought los Catbirds could learn what function
some of these body parts have. To help us begin this study we read Aliki’s
book, Mis cinco sentidos.
New Vocabulary Introduced:
ver – see
tocar – touch
oler – smell
oir – hear
saborear – savor/taste
We then had a brief
discussion about how most people have five senses that we use as a way to experience
what is around us. We do this by touching, smelling, tasting, seeing and
hearing.
New Vocabulary
Introduced:
Con mis ojos, yo veo. – With my eyes, I see.
Con mis dedos, yo toco. – With my fingers, I touch.
Con mi nariz, yo huelo. – With my nose,
I smell.
Con mis orejas, yo oigo. – With my ears,
I hear.
Con mi lengua, yo saboreo. – With my
tongue, I taste.
Following our mini-intro to the five senses, los Catbirds used their cinco sentidos to rehearse the salsa dance moves with a partner. Stay tuned...
We finished our
class with our traditional song, Adios,
hasta luego, and “Super Boy” squeezing la vaca.
¡Gracias, Callum, a.k.a. Super Boy!
¡Hasta
nuestro proximo viaje!
Paz,
Alicia
