¡Nos encanta la música!

Hispanic Heritage Month is September 15- October 15. We learned that a lot of our favorite music is inspired by the the Hispanic and LatinX culture. We talked about different instruments and listened to amazing music by talented artists.

Primary-Pre K: We talked about nursery rhymes we sing in America. I told them that children in the Spanish speaking countries learn a nursery rhyme called, “Los Pollitos.”It is about three little chicks that hatch and spend a fun day with their mom. We learned the song and some choreography. Then, we listened to music and played our maracas.

Kinder-1st: We listened to some amazing music and did a drum stick routine to, “Proud Corazon,” from the movie Coco.

2nd-4th: We talked about Latin music with a little help from our friends Tim and Moby. Then, we learned a cup and stick routine to, “Turn the Beat Around,” by Gloria Estefan.

5th-8th: We continued our read/sing through of the Lion King and then we practiced our Turn the Beat Around routine.
