Mi abuelita tiene, una granja bella
Con animalitos y flores muy bellas,

Song of the week:
CANCION DE LAS PLANTAS.
Un día en el parque jugando estaba
Con mis amigos de Sff,
Mire hacia el suelo, vi algo pequeño
La semillita yo vi pasar
Yo la tome con mucho cuidado
Y en una taza con amor la sembré,
Con tierra y agua creció mi plantita
Y muchas flores yo vi nacer.
Cuida tú alrededor,
A las plantitas respeta,
Por un mundo mejor cuida la naturaleza

Poesía
Semillita semillita
Que en la tierra se cayó
Dormidita dormidita
Rapidito se quedo.
Semillita semillita
Que con agua y luz del sol
Te convertiste en una plantita
Con muchas hojas y una flor.

Verde soy
Huelo muy bien
Crezco con flores, plantas
Y árboles también
