 Song of the week:
CANCION LAVARSE LAS MANOS

Si tus manitas sucias están
Con jaboncito tú las lavarás
Uno, dos, tres, espuma tu harás
Cuatro, cinco, seis, con agua jugarás
Siete, ocho, nueve, con toalla secaras
Cuando cuentes diez ya limpias están (x2)
Contando hasta el veinte

Espuma tu harás
Y todos los gérmenes
Muy lejos se irán.
