Spanish Integration in Music Lessons
As part of the ongoing efforts to keep Spanish learning alive at Claxton, your child will be learning some Spanish songs this school year in music lessons that integrate language learning and music learning goals. Our 3rd and 4th grades have been learning El Grillo (The Cricket) and Buquecito de Papel (Little Paper Boat). You may enjoy asking your 3rd or 4th grader about the lyrics below. Other grades will enjoy Spanish language songs as the year continues!
El Grillo
Cuando más solo me siento
En la calma nocturnal
Una música trae el viento
Fina, fina – siempre iguál
Es el violin del grillito
Que vibrando siempre está
Le da voz al infinito
Y al silencio voz le da
Buquecito de Papel
Con la mitad de un periódico hice un buque de papel.
Y en la fuente de mi casa va navegando muy bién.
Mi hermana con su abanico sopla que sopla sobre él.
¡Muy buen viaje! ¡Muy buen viaje!
Buquecito de papel.
