En esta sesión:
Señorita Mariposa le dará la bienvenida a un invitado especial debajo de la carpa: ¡una cucaracha de Puerto Rico 🇵🇷! Prepárate para compartir historias de varios países de habla hispana 📚🎨, mientras aprendemos sobre la estructura de las historias. Y no te pierdas una actividad de fabricación de títeres. Incluso podemos pedirle a un bibliotecario que lea Sembrando Historias de Anika Aldamuy Denise.

En nuestra primera sesión:
Nos aprenderemos a identificar las herramientas del actor: cuerpo, voz, imaginación y cooperación. Escucharemos y exploraremos dos cuentos "El Monstruo de Colores" de Anna Llenas y "Go Away Big Green Monster" de Ed Emberley, donde podremos poner en práctica nuestras herramientas y mostrar nuestros sentimientos dramatizando las historias.
