🎵 Songs of the Week - The Planets

Buenos días ya salió el sol

Miro hacia el cielo, las nubes de algodón

Buenas noches, la luna salió

Muchas estrellitas luceros de amor.

Estrellas, planetas

Luna y sol

Cuida nuestra tierra y llénala de amor.

📚 Poems, Riddles and Tongue Twisters

Poem

Todos los niños

Un gran viaje van hacer

De la tierra hasta la luna

Volar será un placer

Nos pondremos nuestros

Trajes y a la nave subiremos

Sentaditos todos juntos

A la luna llegaremos.

Father’s Day Poem

Mi papito es muy bueno,
igualito a mi mamá,
se levanta muy temprano,
yo lo voy a saludar.

Yo me subo a sus rodillas,
y me pongo a cabalgar,
ico, ico caballito,
qué bueno que es mi papa

Riddle - The Sun

Doy calorcito

Soy muy redondo

Salgo prontito

Y tarde me escondo.

Tongue Twister

Filipí filipó

La flor se abrio

Filipí filipó

El sol la abrigo
