FLORIDA HERE I COME!

I am super excited that I sold my house and will be moving to Florida in August. School begins there for teachers August 13th!. Wow.  No job yet but have been sending applications left and right, literally Lake, Orange and even Osceola county, a radius of 30 miles around Clermont where I will reside soon. But I would love to get a job in Clermont there are a couple of schools I am very interested in so fingers crossed and prayers sent!

Hi Everyone!

Las letras del camion

Dr Jean has a cute song about the  alphabet called The Letters on the Bus. Which I translated with her permission.

  The Letters on the Bus

                  (Tune:  “The Wheels on the Bus”)

                  The letters on the bus all make their sounds,

                  Make their sounds,

                  Make their sounds.

                  The letters on the bus all make their sounds

                  All around the town.

                  The B on the bus goes /b/ /b/ /b/, /b/ /b/ /b, /b/ /b/ /b/,

                  The B on the bus goes /b/ /b/ /b/ all around the town.

 

I  shorten it to just saying the letter sounds with the same tune

 

La A en el camion dice  a/ a/ a/ a/ a/ a /a/ a/ a/

la A en el camion dice a a a por la carretera

 

La B en el camion ...

 

Taking home a baby bumble bee spanish version

This month we are all about insects and I was going to teach my students the baby bumble bee song and I realize I needed to teach them a version in Spanish so I made one up. Remember it is a silly song and I was trying to stay as close as posible  to the original plus making it rhyme so here it is:

Me llevo una abejita para casa

                                                    (tune of I'm taking home a baby bumble bee)

Me llevo una abejita para casa

mi mama se va a poner contenta

me llevo una abejita para casa

Ay me pico!

Aplasto la abejita para casa

mi mama se va a poner contenta

aplasto la abejita para casa

huy que sucio!

Me limpio la abejita para casa

mi mama se va a poner contenta

me limpio la abejita para casa

 Ay me van a castigar

fin!
