Here is a link to their website so you can see them play. They are from Mexico but travel all over the world to play their unique and lively music. <br />(note: click on March &amp; May USA, then play the video from the Tonight Show from March 2010!)<br /><a href="http://www.rodgab.com">http://www.rodgab.com</a><br />Would you like to learn how to play guitar like that?

You can also read the young adult version of his book or the childrens book, Listen to the Wind. Thanks to the PTO, both of these books are available in our school library.<br />Check out the bulletin board in B hall of the writing and drawing the club members have done so far about what they learned in December during our first 2 meetings.<br />I have put together some photos of children in Afghanistan on Flickr.

Producing 20% of our planet's oxygen, home to over half of all animal, plant and insect populations in the world, and where plants with the power to heal disease thrive, it is a very special place indeed. The kindergarten classes have been learning about the rainforests. Here are some fun kid websites to do some exploring of your own:<br /><a href="http://www.kidssavingtherainforest.org/">http://www.kidssavingtherainforest.org/</a><br />Post a comment or tell me what you learned in class!<br />Ask me or any kindergarten student what my favorite thing about the rainforest is.....<br /><br />I found this photo on the internet from Costa Rica!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/473304342177709999-2638219591614750467?l=k-4pinckneyspanish.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>senorita Ruggerohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04852178465774475720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473304342177709999.post-34195924222981501592009-04-01T09:00:00.000-07:002009-04-01T09:20:41.177-07:00I found this new website where you can sign up to get a new Spanish word delivered to your email every day.
