    Hi Barbara, I am interested in you spanish activity book. However I want to use it for kinder and first grade. Do you think the songs would be too fast for them or is this activity book more for 2nd and 3rd. Anyhelp would be appreciated. I am really struggling with planning for the little ones. Thank you

    Norma

    Hi Norma!
    I actually wrote the activity book for my kindergarten and first grade students. It is particularly meant for beginniners who have limited writing skills. The songs indicated in the book are perfect for those young beginners. Never underestimate your students’ abilities to learn songs. You may have to sing the song more slowly for them before they hear it on the CD, or else stop the CD to explain the lyrics or repeat them, but if you love the songs, they will, too. The youngest students are like wonderful little sponges. I used many of these songs for teaching preschool students as well. You may also be interested in looking at my lesson units for help with lesson planning with your age group. The lesson units were originally written for a series of eight-week after school classes with first and second graders, but can be adapted easily for any young beginning classes.
    Enjoy the songs and have fun with your students!

    Hi:
    If you want to purchase the three CDs in Spanish with the lyrics, which is the price? Do youhave to pay for shipping during this month?
    Can you please let me know?

    Thanks,

    Laura

    Hi Laura!
    This month’s special is free shipping, so there isn’t a special on CDs. Three Tacos CDs are $47.85. and the Tacos lyric books are $26.85. Together they are $74.70 - no shipping and handling will be added in March. And the special will continue to celebrate our anniversary and new website through April 30th!
    Thanks for asking!

    do you ever allow people to observe your language classes? where do you teach?

    Linda, My most recent teaching was done at a gifted and talented K through 8 school in Madison, WI. However, due to recent health issues, I am not in the classroom at this time. Instead I do one on one tutoring at that school. When I was in the classroom, I always welcomed other teachers to observe. Barbara

    Hi,

    Do you sell any of your songs on iTunes?

    Hi Erin! The reason I don’t sell my songs on iTunes is because I believe that those who want my songs also want the lyrics. Every song download, except for instrumental downloads, comes with a pdf lyric file. That isn’t possible on iTunes. Thanks for asking! Barbara

    Hi, Barbara! Do you still carry the large man puppet who appears next to you in the photo on your website. I would like to list the URL on mine. Thanks so much for the info.

    Hello Kathy!
    Thank you for your question. Although the cloth people are no longer for sale on our website, they can be special ordered. If interest increases in them, they could return as they are lots of fun and I received many creative stories over the years of how teachers used Jacquot and Juan and Johann in the classroom. If you are interested in ordering one, please email me at singdanceorder@aol.com and I can give you a price and timeline for getting one to you. I would love to be linked on your site - thanks!
    Barbara
