Dear Ositos Parents,

We hope everybody had a great week. This week the Ositos are so excited about our International Party and learning about the continent of  Europe. My goal for the week will be to introduce the Ositos to European culture, including: food, music, language, recognized monuments, etc. We will also to teach the Ositos what objects and ideas are the same and different between US and European cultures today.

Song of the Week:

Cancion  “Juan Luis Guerra - “Viene a Pedir Mi Mano  ”

Voy a pedir su mano

al amor hay que dar de beber

voy a cortar un ramo (d)e nubes

para mojar su querer

voy a bajar por los yayales

en una yagua de tul

voy a pintar los manatiales

con óleos de cielo azul

Voy a prender tu cariñito

como cocuyo en el mar

y voy a hacerte un traje e novia

con hojas del platanal

Viene a pedir mi mano, viene

vamo(s) a sonar unos palos

pa(ra) que me quiera por siempre

Que su amor sea verdadero, ¡oh!

pa que me quiera, ¡ay!

Viene a pedir mi mano, viene

vamo a sonar unos palos

pa que me quiera por siempre

Poesia 1

Vamos amiguitos, Vamos a tocar

Muchas instrumentos, Para pa pa pa

Suena el tambor, Suena el violin

Suena la guitarra, Trin trin trin trin

Ahi vienen las maracas, Vamos todos a tocar

En esta linda orquesta, Que es fenomenal

Adivinanza 2

Se toca dos palillos

Es un instrumento que suena fuerte

bom bom bom
