Mariposa (Sp. and Eng.)
Insectos con alas, tienen seis patas
Vuelen, comen néctar, van a México
Me hace sentir feliz, alegre
Mariposas
Winged insects have six legs
They fly, eat nectar, & travel to Mexico
It makes me feel happy, cheerful
Butterflies

La música
Suena bella, te hace bailar
Se mueve si la tocas, si soplas, si la ruedas
Cantando juntos me siento conectado
Canción
It sounds beautiful, it makes you dance
It moves if you play, if you blow, if you turn it round,
Singing together I feel connected

I hope we can get more food.
I hope that my mom”'s leg gets fixed. I hope that we can get flowers. I hope that we can get an apple tree. I hope that we can get more room. To play soccer.

I hope there are some people.
I hope my family has some pets.
I hope there are different homes.
I hope there are some elephants on the earth.
I hope there are some
people playing soccer.

I hope people can grow more fruit
I hope my sister stops scratching me.
I hope I can be a singer.
I hope there are more books to read.
I hope there are more friends to play with.
