Hola everybody!
I’m so excited to be part of Music Lingua. Tomorrow I will have my 4th
session and I couldn’t be happier. I was hoping to get 25 students but
got 20. With my little advertising I think 20 is a great number. I
have 7 students in my Parent/Child class, and 13 all together in my
drop off sessions. Everybody has been very excited to finally have
Spanish classes in Ogden UT. I’m interested to see what they have to
say at the end of the sessions and also, see how many will return or
will recommend me.
A few of my parents speak a little bit of Spanish and they asked me:
How come a cat says RONRONSI???? That doesn’t sound right or even
close to a cat’s sound! (LOL). I told them my guess was to practice
the “Rs” that are so thick and strong in Spanish… Can you give me
the real reason behind RONRONSI???
Have a great week!
Andrea 🙂Hi Andrea,
Congratulations on getting off to a great start with Music Lingua! I’m sure you’ll continue to have a blast with it.
I teach Spanish here in Denver, and I’ll attempt to answer your question about Ronronsí. I think it is a great chance to practice the r sound, but also, it’s a play on the word ronronear, which is to purr. the song is based on the English song called Fiddle I Fee, in which the cat goes fiddle I fee in each verse, so I guess the Music Lingua composers used poetic license to have the cat go ronronsí!
I have a couple of questions for the Music Lingua teachers at large, so I’m glad you posted, because I couldn’t find this email address!
Has anyone located a good vendor for toe socks, or glove socks, for the counting song in the new farm unit? I found these cow toe socks on google, and they’re kind of cute at $8.50 a pair.

Also, I have been having trouble with my large blue felt board. Nothing sticks to it well, and it has been a bit frustrating. Has anyone discovered any tricks to make it more sticky?
Thanks,
JenniferI had the same problem with the felt boards, and have used quite a few
things to try and get my stuff to stick. What seems to work best is I
tape it up using packaging tape (the clear stuff) on the back of the
felt pieces. It pulls the flet board a bit when you remove the
pieces, but this is my 4th session with the board and it still looks
great. I don’t take the background off at all during the session, so
it’s only the animals that I take off, and that is usually only once
or twice per class/per session, so not too much on and off. Mostly I
use my board to point out the animals and to hide all my baskets with
the song items in them! 🙂I’ll have to look at those socks, what a great idea! So far I’ve just
taken my shoes off, but winter is coming, and my toes are going to get
quite cold.Also, I found stampers online when I started a couple of years ago
that say bueno or buen trabajo, etc. and I call everyone’s name during
the adios song to come up and get a stamp. The kids seem to love
that! It’s been a good class ender for me, just thought I would pass
it on!I just did the “slop” art activity with my VERY young and energetic
Parent/Child class, it was a hit! they all loved to be cerditos!
Also, I read the cerdito story from the other farm unit, seemed like a
good day for the story as well.
