Divirtámonos Aprendiendo Con Hap Palmer

Spanish teacher loves it!

     

As a former preschool teacher, Hap Palmer CDs are the ones I used to turn to when I wanted to liven up my group time or just have music playing softly in the background on rainy school days. Hap has a soothing voice that always seemed to calm my classroom full of energetic three and four year olds. So I was eager to listen to his latest CD in Spanish, complete with activities that correspond with each song. The songs and activities help children to learn to identify parts of the body, numbers and counting, tell time, learn colors, and about plants and animals. "What a Miracle," is a call and response song that celebrates how special our bodies are. "Things I am Thankful for," is a soothing ballad that teaches gratitude for the earth, sea, and friends.

Since I am not bilingual, I asked a Spanish language teacher at my son's elementary school to help me review the CD. She loved it and said she would gladly use it as a way to teach the children, preschool through sixth grade common concepts in a fun, interactive manner.
