Today we are learning how to count to 10 with Dracula.
We are learning the colours with De que color es un beso?
and about the animals with El libro de la selva.
Happy listening! If you know someone who would like to watch the stories let them know about us.
Soon we will upload our virtual French story time.

Opening little minds up to other cultures is giving the gifts of curiosity, love of learning about and from others but also tolerance. Taking your children to cultural festivals, making them taste foreign foods, reading books in foreign languages, reading foreign stories translated in English, playing games are all great ideas to offer this multicultural exposure without having to travel.
Here is a list of multicultural ideas that you might like to have at home. They are fun and great for learning.
Contact us for more suggestions.

Shannon Kelly from the Cultured Kid has interviewed 10 experts in raising bilingual children and asked them for tips.
We proudly contributed by offering the following advice:
“When deciding to raise your children in multilingual environment have a clear objective.
Are you happy with a passive bilingual or do you wish your child to be bi-literate? Whatever your goal is, you will require resources, time, ways to find exposure.”

Happy World Read Aloud Day!
What special book are you reading to or with your children today?
We do a lot of reading at home, my children are too young to read by themselves but they love books. Today we are sharing a few tips to make reading a book more fun!
If you are a multicultural family, think about bilingual books. They are a great resources as both parents can read in their language. Children get to learn new words in both languages.
Let’s read, read, read!
