Dear Ositos Parents:                                 

We hope everybody had a great week. This week we will be learning about the many different and amazing things on the continent of Africa which are recognized around the world.  My goal for the ositos this week is to give them an introduction and experience in African folk cultures, food, music, dance, story time, languages etc. through crafts, play in the centers and observing videos to gain appreciation for the many things of Africa.

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

Alrededor del mundo

Hay muchas personas como tu y como yo

Su música y su país es  diferente

y a todas ellas les doy

mi amor y admiracion

Adivinanza 1

Cuerdas tengo

Cuando me rascon

A la gente entretengo
