Since several of her preschool friends will be going to Kindergarten in the Fall, Jamilah has recently been talking a lot about 5 yr olds going to Kindergarten and how she will go to Kindergarten when she turns 5. We have also been talking about how we will go see a few schools and decide which one she will attend before she goes to Kindergarten.
On the way home from school today, we were driving by the Spanish Immersion School in our neighborhood. Jamilah asked what the school was and I told her it was the Spanish Immersion School. Impressing me with her ridiculous memory yet again, she asked if that was Violette's school -- yes, indeed it is. She asked if she could go to that school when she turns 5 and I explained to her that at that school the children speak in Spanish.
She so gracefully replied, "I speak Spanish" and began singing the following song:
She proudly concluded by explaining that her teacher knows Spanish and taught her that song.
Can someone please verify for me that my child does indeed already know how to sing this song in Spanish?
You have an awesome child!
ReplyDeleteI could make out some of the key words of the song: araña...lluvia...sol (spider...rain...sun...), but I think she made a few bits up :)
It sounds like these are probably the words her teacher taught her:
La araña pequeñita subió, subió, subió,
Vino la lluvia y se la llevó.
Salió el sol y todo lo secó.
Y la araña pequeñita subió, subió, subió.
She should totally go to Spanish immersion school!
