¿Sabías Que? Did you Know….?

In some Latin countries, couples wear rings on
their right hands when they become engaged.
Once they marry, they move the rings to their
left hands.
In Colombian weddings, bachelors place a shoe
under the dress of the bride. The groom
chooses one shoe from under the dress, and
tradition says that this is the next young man
who will get married.
The night before a Costa Rican wedding, the
groom usually serenades the bride to show
everyone how he feels about her.

Canciones del Mes/Songs of the Month
La Gallina Turuleca/The Silly Hen
Yo conozco una vecina
Que ha comprado una gallina
Que parece una sardina enlatada
Tiene las patas de alambre
Porque pasa mucha hambre
Y la pobre está todita desplumada
Pone huevos en la mesa y también en la
cocina
Pero nunca los pone en el corral
La gallina turuleca
Está loca de verdad
La gallina turuleca
Está loca de verdad.
La gallina turuleca ha puesto un huevo
Ha puesto dos, ha puesto tres,
La gallina turuleca ha puesto cuatro , ha
puesto cinco, ha puesto seis
La gallina turuleca ha puesto siete, ha
puesto ocho, ha puesto nueve…
¿Dónde está esa gallinita?
Déjenla a la pobrecita
Déjenla que ponga diez
¿Dónde está esa gallinita?
Déjenla a la pobrecita
Déjenla que ponga diez
I know a neighbor
Who has bought a hen
That looks like a canned sardine
It has wire legs
Because it’s very hungry
And the poor thing is completely plucked
It lays eggs on the table and also in the
kitchen
But it never lays them in the corral
The silly hen
Is really crazy
The silly hen
Is really crazy
The silly hen has laid an egg
Has laid two, has laid three
The silly hen has laid four, has laid five,
has laid six
The silly hen has laid seven, has laid
eight, has laid nine…
Where is that hen?
Leave the poor thing alone
Let her lay ten
Where is that hen?
Leave the poor thing alone
Let her lay ten
La Despedida/The Farewell
(Click link below for additional verses)
Ha llegado el momento de decir adiós,
Si nos vamos nos quedamos decidilo vos
Encontramos un amigo en cada canción
Es hora de despedirse
Hasta la próxima función
A ver, a ver, preparen el saludito
A ver, a ver y suelten el corazón
A ver, a ver, adiós nuestros
amiguitos
A ver, a ver, así
me despido yo
The moment has arrived to say goodbye
If we go, if we stay, you decide
We find a friend in every song
It’s time to say goodbye
Until the next event
Let’s see, let’s see, prepare a wave
Let’s see, let’s see, set our hearts free
Let’s see, let’s see, goodbye to our
little friends
Let’s see, let’s see, that’s how
I say goodbye

Songs of the Month
MISS ERIKA’S ENGLISH NEWS
Hello parents,
April was a very exciting month for the kids. They read new books and got to
plant seeds for Earth week. They were also very excited about finding 41
words that start with the letter F (the most words we have gotten this year).
For the month of May we will be reviewing the alphabet and numbers, along
with reviewing the vowels and shapes. We will also be having evaluations for
the Argentina class. The three year old class does not get evaluated until
next year. We have also been working very hard on our song for the show and
all of the kids are very excited.
Best wishes,
Miss. Erika
Parents’ Corner
S CCor
May is the last month of school! For this reason the
following policy has been implemented:
May Tuition is due on the 1st.
Tuition not paid by May 4th will be charged a late fee,
and your child will be unable to attend school until the
last payment is made.
Summertime Learning
As we head into summer, parents can keep the learning going at home with these tips to keep busy little minds growing!
Counting – Ask your child to help set the table. “How many people will be eating with us? Can you count four napkins?
Four placemats?” Count how many books you’d like to read, the number of people in a line, or how many steps to our
neighbor’s house. Find counting opportunities all around!
Grouping/Sorting/Comparing – Let’s organize the pantry! “Can you put the cans of soup on one shelf, the cans of beans
on a second shelf, and the cans of vegetables on the third? Which shelf has the most/least cans?” Sort and match socks, art
supplies, blocks, and more.
Writing – Find fun mediums to write with besides paper/pencil. Have your child trace his/her name or letters in shaving
cream, or flour (on a tray or cookie sheet). Form letters with spaghetti or clay. Fill a baggie with hair gel and food
coloring, then have him use his finger to form letters in the gel. Use a Q-tip and paint to write letters.
Fine Motor Skills – Tweezers and kitchen tongs can be used to pick up objects large and small. Pick up blocks and deposit
them into different sized containers. Pick up beans/seeds and place them carefully into an art project, or sort them into
containers. Create 3-D art with toothpicks and marshmallows or grapes. Try some threading activities with pipe cleaners,
straws or pasta as a fun way to create some wearable jewelry/art!
Reading – Identify letters, their sounds, and words wherever you go on signs, products, menus, etc. Practice rhyming
words, and changing up nursery rhymes with funny words. If you are traveling, look at maps of your route and destination.
Read, read, read, and talk, talk, talk! English, Spanish, or another language; the more exposure to sounds and words, the
better!
Spanish – Look for Spanish Story Times in your area and/or check out audiobooks from the library. Play Spanish music
and sing along! Cartoons or sports in Spanish are also fun. A list of some online resources can be found at
