The letter Pp - Wow! There are a lot of great words that begin with Pp in Spanish! This week the kids added these words to their vocabulary:
pez (fish) princesa (princess) príncipe (prince)
pato (duck) perro (dog) planta (a plant)
papá (dad) pintar (to paint) pan (bread)
pera (pear) pengüino (penguin) por favor (please)
papel (paper) palo (a stick)
We learned to draw several animals: pato, pengüino, perro, pájaro, and pez.
We also made bread (pan) one afternoon - that was exciting, and quite tasty, too!
