Greetings from Ms. Carmen!

Spanish Language Teacher

Your child and I have been having fun with Spanish over the past few weeks. You can be part of the fun too!  I encourage you to look out for books you can read in Spanish with your child. Here are some titles that my daughter and I enjoy:

Al Lado De Una Hormiga/Next to an Ant by Mara Rockliff

Oh No, Gotta Go! by Susan Middleton Elya (Great author to check out!)

Me Gusta Cuando by Mary Murphy, F. Isabel Campoy, and Alma Flor Ada *we read in class

Libro! by Kristine O'Connell George

Mis Numeros by Rebecca Emberley

Singing songs in Spanish is another fun way we learn. We sing a color song in class that is very fun and easy. It is sung to the tune of “Frera Jacques:”

Red is Rojo (RO-ho)

Green is Verde (VARE-day)

Blue, Azul (a-SZOOL)

Negro, Black (NEG-ro)

Yellow, Amarillo (ar-mar-EE-yo)

Purple is Morado (more-A-Do)

Grey is Gris (greece)

Brown, Café (Ca-fay)

Counting in Spanish is fun as well, try counting backwards for an extra challenge!

1.         uno (oo-no)

2.         dos (doss)

3.         tres (trace)

4.         cuatro (kwah-tro)

5.         cinco (seen-ko)

6.         seis (say-ees)
