Miro hacia el cielo, las nubes de algodón

Buenas noches, la luna salió

Muchas estrellitas luceros de amor.

Estrellas, planetas

Cuida nuestra tierra y llénala de amor

El sol tiene frío

No quiere salir

Oculto entre las nubes

Se ha puesto a dormir

Star Words of the Week

Song 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

Ring ring suena el teléfono

Tica tac suena el reloj

Chu chu suena el trencito

Muchos sonidos escucho yo

El señor invierno

Se viste de blanco

Se pone el abrigo

Porque esta temblando

Se encuentra a la lluvia

Llorando llorando

Y también el viento

Que viene soplando
