¡BIENVENIDOS to
ESPAÑOL!
Spanish for you & your
child
Queridos Padres, Dear Parents,
Grandparents and Nannies,
My name is Ann Benson and I am so
excited to share my passion for the
Spanish language and culture with you
and your precious children! I have a BS
in Elementary Education with an
endorsement in Bilingual Education from
the University of Texas. I’ve been
teaching Spanish in public and private
schools as well as in my own parent-child
program Somos Amigos for over 20 years.
The Texas Data Center predicts that by
2020 Texas will be a dominantly Hispanic
state. We live in an increasingly complex
and interconnected world – it’s time to fully
embrace the Spanish language and culture
with our children. Experts agree the first 5
years of life are the prime language
learning years. European children speak
at least 2 languages fluently before
entering primary school!
It may be surprising for you to know that
YOU are in the best person to teach your
child Spanish! Whether or not you can
speak Spanish or speak it “correctly” is
not of importance. Your goal is to create a
disposition for loving Spanish in your
child. Once your child is “turned on” and
“tuned in” to Spanish, he will be eager to
continue learning as he gets older. There
are many of tools and programs for you
to use as a support, many of them are
free. But, nobody, no school or book can
give Spanish and Latin culture a place in
your child’s heart - like you.
In Spanish Camp you will sing, dance,
and have a lot of fun together with your
child! For reinforcement at home this
Spanish Camp Songbook will be a great
help. Sing the songs and read the lyrics
like they were a story or poem. The URL
addresses are included for most songs so
you can sing them online. Try to have
Spanish every day at a certain time; read
a book, sing a song, have fun together…in
español!
Please contact me with any questions
about private or group classes in your
home, neighborhood community center or
library, about reinforcement materials
such as CD recordings or Songbooks.
Muchas gracias for your trust and
partnership with your precious child!
“Ms. Ana”

Aunque hables Quechua o Mandarín,
un mismo idioma es sonreír.

We come from different places,
but we have smiles on our faces.
And when we share our names,
we realize we’re all the same.

¿Porqué las flores que yo recojo
por ti se tiñen de color rojo?
Red is the color of my heart

when it rains all day.

que los agachaditos
no saben bailar.

dance no more.

your turn soon –
over the table,
over the moon.

one gives me butter,
and one gives me milk.

Mi padre fue un migrante, un trabajador migrante.
Fuimos a tantos lugares,
vivimos en tantos hogares.
Mi madre fué una migrante,
una trabajadora migrante.
Y tantos lugares hallamos,
donde trabajaran sus manos.
Sus manos morenas, sus manos tan buenas.
Mi padre fué un migrante, un trabajador migrante.
Por tantos campos y avenidas, le fuimos ganando a
la vida y con su alegría y empeño, construyeron
este sueño que luego yo cosecharía, así como ellos
recogían.
Manzanas, lechugas, naranjas, verduras.
Manzanas, lechugas, naranjas, verduras.
Cosecharon para mí, cosecharon para todos.

We would go across the land.
Wherever they needed their hands.
Their working hands, their honest hands.
Daddy was a migrant worker.
Mommy was a migrant worker.
We would cross so many highways.
We would go so many places.
With their hands they picked the food.
With their hands they built a dream.
A dream that I would harvest.
I think of them every time I eat…
Ellos recogieron las frutas con las manos
Y echaron raíces y aquí nos quedamos.
Los recuerdo cada día, cuando ellos recogían.
Apples, lettuce, oranges, veggies.
Manzanas, lechugas, naranjas, verduras.
Manzanas, lechugas, naranjas, verduras.
They were picking food for me.
They were picking food for everyone.
Apples, lettuce, oranges, veggies.
Cosecharon para mí, cosecharon para todos.
Mommy and Daddy picked vegetables and fruits
and along the way they put down their roots.
