Song of the Week

Song #1- Animales de la Granja
Mi abuelita tiene una granja bella 
Con animalitos y flores muy bellas, 
Ahora este jueguito de imitar sonidos
Tú lo haces primero y luego tu amiguito 

(Repetir 2x)

El perrito ladra (sonido)
El gato maulla (sonido)
El gallito canta (sonido)
La vaca estornuda (sonido)
El conejo salta
El caballo trota 
Y los pajaritos la canción entonan (Repetir 2x)


Song #2 - Animales de la Selva

Los animales que hay en la selva,
Tú los vas repetir,
Algunos gordos, otros muy altos 
Igual nos vamos a divertir.
El elefante que está muy grande
Y la jirafa que alta es
Y el monito que salta y salta
El cocodrilo… me va a morder
Los animales…
Es un león que esta enojón
Es la serpiente que es muy decente
Y la tortuga come lechuga
Y el ratón (donde está el ratón?)
Ya se escondió 
Los animales…

Poems

Rhyme #1
Coco, coco, cocodrilo 
En el río esta tranquilo.

Rhyme #2
Ele, ele, elefante
En la trompa lleva un guante.

Finger Games
Este compro un huevito 
Este lo cocinó
Este le puso sal
Este lo revolvió
Y este pícaro chiquitito
Se lo comió.
