We have been exploring how to talk about our families in Spanish and celebrating how we feel when we are together.

SONGS, WORDS, SIGNS & BOOKS

• Song: “mi familia” (not on our playlist as this is a video)

• Signs & words we use for family members

• Book: “Mi familia y yo”. A storytime reading here.

• Book: ¿El canguro tiene mamá? (Does the Kangaroo have a mom?), by the beloved Eric Carle - read aloud by a very smart niño from Guatemala! 😊 You can check this out at DMPL or your local library.

AT HOME / ONLINE MATERIAL & IDEAS
