🎵 Songs of the Week - A volar

Vamos volando en un avión

Y al ver por la ventana vemos las nubes pasar

Volando en un avión

A una enorme altura nos vamos a pasear

Desde mi ventana las alas puedo ver

Y  allá abajo otras cosas también.

Los autos y edificios muy pequeños son

Y me hacen sentir que muy alto estoy.

Es muy divertido un avión pilotear

Y cuando sea mayor eso voy a estudiar

Por ahora me conformo con solo jugar

A salvo de tormentas que me puedan dañar.

📚 Poems

Poem 1

Son muchos los medios de locomoción

Los hay terrestres

Como el camión

Otros son acuáticos

Como el gran vapor

Y de los aéreos

El mayor de todos

Es el avión

Poem 2

Quiero un barco de colores

Un avión para volar

Una moto de carreras

Y un gran autocar

Para ir con mis amigos

Por el cielo y por el mar

Y por la tierra redondita

Muchas vueltas dar.

Poem 3

El mundo de colores

Quiero pintar

Azul el cielo

Roja la flor

Amarillo el sol

Y verde la flor

📚 Riddles

Va por el cielo

Como ventarrón

Lleva pasajeros

Y anda a motor

El avión

Tiene motor, cuatro ruedas

Ventanillas sin cortinas

Un timón negro y también una bocina

El carro
