WATER, AMARAL AND BOB DYLAN?

Water is one of the most natural necessary elements for the human being, and it seems we don't take care about it until there's an important lack of it. Next summer the ExpoZaragoza is taking place http://www.expozaragoza2008.es/. An international event in which water is the protagonist. The band Amaral has covered the song A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall by Bob Dylan for the occasion as the hymn of the event. Have you heard it?You can download it from the expo web.

CUÉNTAME UN CUENTO, Celtas Cortos

Do you remeber this song played by CELTAS CORTOS? (If you want to listen to it click on their official site CELTAS CORTOS) It talks about the tales we are told before going to bed. Sharing books is a great way to help our children learn to read and write and to make them become future readers as well. Sharing stories is a bridge between speaking and reading that begins in infancy and continues throughout childhood. Together, sharing books and sharing stories are powerful ways to encourage children’s emerging literacy. Would you like to read some stories together with your children? Visit the webpage The storyteller and the webquest CUENTAME UN CUENTO, you will find different stories to explain. Children will enjoy them for sure!!

SPRINGTIME & APRIL SONGS

Be creative. Imagine the music for these songs and sing them to your friends.

Springtime

A small green frog
On a big brown log;
A black and yellow bee
In a little green tree;
A red and yellow snake
By a blue-green lake,
All sat and listened
To red bird sing,
"Wake up, everybody,

It's spring! It's spring!"

April

The roofs are shining from the rain,
The sparrows twitter as they fly,
And with a windy April grace
The little clouds go by.

Yet the backyards are bare and brown
With only one unchanging tree--
I could not be so sure of Spring
Save that it sings in me.
