I was not planning for this...but it turned to be and awesome literacy activity

 

As part of my lesson I was going to teach the children a new song

" Una linda abejita" which is the Spanish version of  " I am bringing home a baby bumble bee"

As soon as I started to sing a little girl raised her hand and said " I know that song in English" and she started to sing her version of the song. At the end she said " That is the end of my story"

Then I said  " You guys would like to hear my story?" 

Suddenly after I was done singing a bunch of little hands were raised wanted it to share their stories. What an amazing activity, the children were laughing from the silly versions of their songs, they practiced their listening skills, language, creative thinking and also waited for their turn to come to the front of the class and sing, all of these with out having to ask anything Wow! 

At the end I asked them if they wanted to make a picture of their story and I could not resist to wrote down what they came up with. They were all super excited to share with their families.
