I had a sweet exchange with the JK Chicks (Los Pollitos) during their first Spanish class last week!

Mariposa, our butterfly puppet friend, was helping the Chicks learn about the rules of the room. ‘Posa’s Promesa (promise) is to make sure everyone stays safe, happy, and learning while in the World Language Wonder Lab. The Chicks helped me and Mariposa build a butterfly to help us learn all of the ways we can work together to help keep our promise.

While discussing antennae and what their job is on a butterfly, the Chicks had much to say:

“They help her find her way around.”

“She feels with them, like happy and sad.”

“They help her listen.”

I posed the question: “What part of our body do we listen with?”

One little Chick responded, “Our hearts!” We all agreed, listening with our hearts is the most important kind of listening!

Happy moment to kick off our year of fun and learning!
