Berlitz Jr: Spanish

This book is about a bear name Teddy. We meet his family and friends. We follow him during his day where he goes to school, plays at the park, and goes to the circles. But the greats part about this book is the word are not only in English but in Spanish. So for example the sentence, Hello! My name is Teddy. The Spanish sentence is !Hola! My llamo Teddy. This book goes over toys he plays with, number, colors and animals from the circus.

The kids had a fun time as I tried to translate some of the words to them in Spanish. We have a few Hispanics in our daycare so I had one come and sit with me in class to assist in pronunciations of the words. The number and colors we go over daily so that was that bad. But some of the pronunciations of the animals and a few of the sentence we all had a hard time with. It was a learning experience for us all.

For the day when we colored I had them only use the Spanish word for the colors. Purple-púrpura, Blue-azul, Red-rojo, etc. On another day we all tried to say some of the toy they play with a lot in Spanish. Like block-bloque, doll-muñeca and cars-coche. ( )
