BOCA BETH: One Song at a Time

We had an awesome time in Jacksonville, Florida as I presented Fiesta Fun for Everyone last weekend to more than 200 terrific and dedicated early childhood care providers!  We sang, we laughed and had a great morning together learning about nursery rhymes and how very important they are to young children via the great talent of Beverly Oglesby (I think that is the right spelling!) and about how fun it can be to bring Spanish into little one’s lives via Boca Beth!

That was Charlene Gross of North Florida AEYC and the Early Learning Coalition of Duval County inviting me there to share my passion for bringing English and Spanish together for little children and their teachers.  I love the looks on their faces as they begin to realize how they really CAN do this and do it every day to  make a difference.

Then we brought out SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Our new cockroach character for La cucaracha (the song about a lemonade drinking cockroach).

Now we are here in Anaheim for the annual NAFCC conference (National Association for Child Care).  We begin with a four hour make and take in the morning, followed by the opening musical keynote Friday morning where BOCA, our new mascot, is to debut.  Made by Scollon Production company out of the Carolinas - he hopefully will be ready to jam this Friday morning!

We will keep you posted - Happy Educating - Sea feliz educando
