Spanish Camp Bilingual Story Time
For our Spanish Language Summer Program I always consult with my helper {wink} the theme for our Spanish lesson. I give him suggestions, and he decides what he’d like for us to do. This time he chose the book Tito Puente Mambo King for story time at summer camp. I was especially excited about this book because I love sharing with little man biographies of notable Latin figures.
I love that this biography on Tito Puente’s life is appropriate for younger children (pre-school and kindergarten); though I’m sure older children will enjoy it as well. The wording on the book is easy enough to learn new Spanish words! I also love that the book is a dual language book. Each page is in both Spanish and English.
The author portrays Tito’s passion for music starting at a very young age. My 5 yr. old loves this book, and especially loves the catchy “♫♫¡tum, tica, tac, tic, tum tic, tom, tom!♫♫” It makes him want to play his drums, maracas or tambourines!
Oh – I love this lesson and I think my girls would love that book. They are also big music fans. I wish we were close enough to attend your classes!!
