Español con los Cardenales: Arroro mi niño (Hush-a-bye my child)

¡Bienvenidos familia, amigas, y amigos! Welcome! During our previous clase de Español, it was Samuel’s turn to choose our destination to a Spanish speaking country. Following our morning salutations, he suggested we head over to España.


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 Cardenales to see.  As each picture was shown, los Cardenales were asked,¿Vamos en esto? (Are we going on this?). But no one can trick those Cardenales! They not only knew what mode of transportation we would need to get all the way to España, but they also knew the name of the vehicles in Spanish! For example, when a picture of a car was held up and los Cardenales were asked if that is how we will get there (¿Vamos en esto?), they would answer, “No. That’s a carro! Try them! Ask any Cardinal how to say any of the following in Spanish:  

carro - car
bote - boat
bicicleta - bicycle
tren – train
motocicleta – motorcycle
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 Samuel squeezing la vaca. ¡Gracias, Samuel!


¡Hasta nuestro proximo viaje!

Paz,
Alicia


Remember that on Tuesday, May 28 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m., we are having an EC  Pot-luck Dinner on our nature playground.


¡Espero verlos allí! I hope to see you there!

paz,
alicia
