Songs
Allá en la fuente
In the Fountain
(Traditional. Translated by Alexandra Corona. The tune may be heard on La Página de Cri-Crí
el Grillito Cantor at www.cri-cri.net/Canciones/elchorrito.html. The complete song is called El
Chorrito, and you may sing the entire song or just this verse.)
Allá en fuente
Había un chorrito;
Se hacía grandote;
Se hacía chiquito;
Estaba de mal humor,
Pobre chorrito
Tenía calor.
In the fountain
There was a spout of water;
It would get big;
It would get small;
He was not happy,
Poor little spout
Was very hot.
Vamos a remar
Row Your Boat
(Traditional. Translated by Alexandra Corona.)
Ven, ven, ven acá,
Vamos a remar
Rema, rema, rema, rema,
Me tienes que ayudar.
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily,
Merrily, life is but a dream.

Flannel Board Storytelling Book by Judy Sierra. Patterns are provided in the book.
Alternatively, if the library owns a copy of the original book, share it with the children as you
place pieces on the flannel board.

of this chapter onto yellow felt. Decorate five little ducks and one mother duck and use them as
you tell the story.
