Aprendiendo en tierra Catbird / Learning in Catbirdland

¡Bienvenidos familia, amigas, y amigos! A little birdie told me los Catbirds are going home singing the “colors song” so I thought I send along the words. Please feel free to sing along with your child. It really is a catchy tune.

To the tune of Frère Jacques, we sang the following:

Red is rojo

Green is verde

Blue, azul

Black, negro

Yellow, amarillo

Purple is morado

Gray is gris

Brown, café

Another topic we have been learning is snack. If you’d like to learn (or review) the vocabulary for some of the common snack items in the classroom, here they are. Ask your child to teach you.

crackers – galleta

graham cracker – galleta graham

chesse - queso

cream cheese – queso crema

red apple – manzana roja

green apple – manzana verde

banana - banana

orange - naranja

bagel - rosquilla

hummus – pasta de garbazos

soy butter – salsa de soja

pita bread – pan pita

And, just recently we have begun to learn the vocabulary for some forms of transportation:

airplane – avión

car - carro

boat - bote

motorcycle - motocicleta

bicycle - bicicleta

train - tren

school bus – autobús

helicopter – helicóptero

We are really having so much fun singing, playing and laughing in Spanish class. ¡Muy divertido!
