Books:
P is for Pinata: a Mexican Alphabet by Tony Johnston and #OwnVoices John Parra
What Can you Do with a Rebozo by #OwnVoices Carmen Tafolla and #OwnVoices Amy Cordova
When Sra. Carolina and I do story time together, I read one page of a book in English and then she reads the same page in Spanish. That way neither group of children is waiting too long to hear the part they can understand.
Greeting Song:
Buenos días, buenos días.
¿Cómo estás? ¿Cómo estás?
Muy bien, gracias, muy bien, gracias.
¿Y tú, cómo estás? ¿Y tú, cómo estás?
We talk about the meaning of the words for our English speakers and then sing the song twice and ask them to sing along at home.
Song to Introduce the first book:
I have a story, what can it be?
I have a story listen and see.
I have a story, what can it be?
Gather around and read with me!
Tengo una historia ¿que puede ser?
Tengo una historia, escucha y ven
Tengo una historia ¿que puede ser?
¡Ven a leer conmigo!
I sing in English and then Carolina sings in Spanish. We sing it twice.
Simon Says:
This is my friend Simon and his favorite game is Simon Says. When we play this in bilingual story time Sra. Carolina translates what I say into Spanish.
Flannel Board:
Cinco Dulces Fell From a Pinata:
Cinco little dulces,
with sugar galore,
One was Eaten and then there were four!
Cuatro little dulces!
Dos and dos you see,
One was eaten and then there were three!
Tres little dulces,
but before I knew it,
One was eaten and then there were dos.
Dos little dulces,
Oh what fun!
Un was eaten and then there was uno.
Un little dulce
Watch me run!
I ate the last one
and now there are none!
Craft Kit:
Since we can’t do in house program during the pandemic we are planning craft kits for Hispanic Heritage month that parents can pick up in the children’s department.
