The first class!
Okay moms, I'm super excited about our clase de español!!! I'm hoping this blog will keep us all connected and help you in practicing what we learn throughout the week with your toddlers. Here's a few things before we meet.
1. This blog is private, so please email me your addresses so I can get you access.
2. Allow for an hour class even though it will not take that long. I've got a 4 month old who will be somewhat unpredictable in all this and I want to allow time for questions and some playtime. Once I know how things are going to run I think the actual "class" time will only be 30-40min.
3. Please note...your child will probably not be singing the songs after the first class but it is my hope (with your help during the week) that after the 2nd and 3rd class--they will. One thing that is really important in learning any language is PARENT INVOLVEMENT! Just remember how many times you repeated words in English before they started saying them. Once a week is not a lot with your toddlers so anything you can do at home to reinforce what they are learning in class (like playing my cd or the videos provided) will benefit them immensely.
4. Please, please feel free to give me feedback---all feedback is welcome--good and bad!
5. Lastly--I'm really really excited about doing this! I hope your amazing toddlers will take the language and run with it!!!!

Song videos
Hi All!
Here are some of the songs we sing in class. Here I am solo singing them especially for you--I do apologize for subjecting you to my "lovely" voice. Hopefully your toddlers won't care! =)

Song lyrics
¡Hola!!
Here is a list of some of the songs I'll be doing along with their lyrics. It will help when you (hopefully) go home to practice these. The tunes are simple enough but it's the words that will get ya! Hope this helps! You should also receive a handout in class.
Hello Song
Soy Caro, soy Caro. ¿Quién eres tú? x2
Pulgarcito (to the tune of "Where Is Thumb Finger?"
Pulgarcito. ¿Dónde estas?
Aquí estoy, aquí estoy.
¿Cómo estás tú?
Muy bien, gracias.
Ya me voy. Ya me voy.
La Araña Chiquitita (to the tune of Itsy Bitsy Spider)
La araña chiquitita, subió, subió, subió.
Vino un chapparrón, y se la llevó.
Luego sale el sol, y todo se secó.
Y la araña chiquitita, subió, subió, subió.
¡Salta, Salta! (to the tune of Row, Row Your Boat)
¡Salta, salta, dale vuelta!
¡Corre, corre, Para!
¡Siéntate, Levántate-
Y muéstrame la cara!
Estrellita (to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle)
Estrellita, ¿Dónde estás?
Quiero verte titilar
En el cielo, sobre el mar-
Un diamonte, sin igual.
Estrellita, ¿Dónde estás?
Quiero verte titilar.
Cabeza, Hombros, Rodillas, Pies
Cabeza, hombros, rodillas, pies-rodillas, pies-
Cabeza, hombros, rodillas, pies-rodillas, pies.
Ojos, orejas, boca y naríz.
Cabeza, hombros, rodillas, pies--rodillas, pies!
