Enjoy!

Jolly Songs

If you want to sing the songs, use this links. Please, do sing them once and again.

The calendar song

Surfing into the youtube thing, I found really nice archaeologic remains. This is one of them. Learn and sing it as it will be really useful for Year 1.
Vagando por el ancho mar de youtube, he encontrado maravillosos restos arqueológicos (fósiles). Este es uno de ellos. Aprendedla y cantadla porque os será muy útil.

Routines songs

I also consider important that you learn the days of the week song. Please, listen to it once and again. It's really sticky.
Creo que es importante también que aprendáis esta canción de los días de la semana. Por favor, escuchadla una y otra vez; es muy pegadiza.




And this is a second option.


If you have to work on them, use this activity, which is really nice.

Welcome!

Hello children and parents!
As you were continually asking me for extra resources, something which already was in my mind, I have decided to finally create this blog specially for you. I hope you will enjoy it.
Feel free to submit any suggestion or comment.
Kisses.
¡HOla chicos y papis!
Como muchos me habéis estado pidiendo un apoyo extra para ampliar y complementar las clases, algo sobre lo que ya había yo estado pensando, me decido a crear un blog de aula para vuestro uso y disfrute. Espero que os sirva.
Sentiros libres de postear cualquier anotación, sugerencia o comentario. Eso sí, por favor, intentad escribir en inglés, si no os importa, aunque sea un inglés de indios, animad a los niños a hacerlo con vosotros para que también ellos practiquen el idioma por este cauce, y de los errores aprenderemos también.
Besos.
