这首“Home on the Range”不光是儿歌，还是民歌-folk song，更是一曲美国的“西部之歌”。


Oh, give me a home,
where the buffalo roam,
where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
and the skies are not cloudy all day.

Home, home on the range,
where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
and the skies are not cloudy all day.


我的家在牧场,
那儿有水牛游荡,
还有快乐的小鹿和羚羊;
那儿多么欢畅,那儿没有悲伤,
辽阔天空多么晴朗

家,牧场我的家.
那儿有快乐的小鹿和羚羊;
那儿多么欢畅,那儿没有悲伤,
辽阔天空多么晴朗.

李欧・李奥尼（Leo Lionni）的经典绘本："Inch by Inch"——《一寸虫》。

绘本中出现了不少鸟类的名字，像toucan巨嘴鸟、知更鸟robin、火烈鸟flamingo、苍鹭heron等。对于孩子来说，不必把这些名字全都记住，能有个印象，知道鸟不是只有一个bird就行。

更值得做的事情，是和孩子玩一玩"Inchworm"的游戏。可以量一量，身边用品的长度，有几个手指头。也可以家长和孩子互相量量对方的脑袋、脖子、胳膊、肩宽等等。

切记：孩子对英语的兴趣，是玩儿出来的！

非常棒的初级章节书——"Fly Guy"（苍蝇小子）。

"Fly Guy"是知名作家Ted Arnold创作的系列图书，讲述了一只苍蝇Fly Guy和他的小主人Buzz之间，一个个令人捧腹的趣事。适合4-10岁的孩子，小点的孩子，家长可以读给孩子，大点的孩子，可以自己尝试读。

这个系列的第一本“Hi! Fly Guy”，一经问世，就获得了2006年的“苏斯博士奖”，整个系列也是常年畅销，获奖无数。

Emma对这套书也是爱不释手。

1. 发现孩子生病了：

-Honey, you don't look well.
Are you feeling OK?
-No. Not at all.
-Let me feel your forehead. Oh no! You've got a fever.
Why don't you lie down?
Let me get you a cup of water.
And then I'll take your temperature.


2. 安慰生病的孩子：

-38 degrees! That's definitely a fever.
-Do I have to go to a doctor?
-Not for now.
But if you don't get better in a few days, maybe we'll have to go.
-But I don't want to see a doctor!
-It's OK, honey.
The doctor will only give you a checkup, and maybe give you some medicine.
-Will he give me a shot?
-Probably not.
Anyway, don't worry about it just yet.
Take a good rest, and you'll get better without seeing a doctor.


3. 唠叨“生病”的孩子：

-Mom, my throat hurts. I...
-Oh, not again!
You're getting sick.
I always tell you to keep yourself warm.
Where's your jacket?
Always wear your jacket.
You'll get sick if you don't wear warm enough.
-But I just want some water.
My throat hurts because I'm thirsty.
-Then why didn't you have enough water?
I always tell you to have lots of water.
If you have enough water, you won't get sick that easily.
-Ehhhh, I'm not sick.

Theme in Yellow
by Carl Sandburg

I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon
I am a jack-o'-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know
I am fooling.

黄色的主题
——卡尔·桑德堡

我点缀着山丘
连同秋天的黄球
我照亮干原上的玉蜀地
柑橘和金黄色的团簇
人们称我是南瓜
在十月的最后一天
当夜幕降临
孩子们手拉着手
环绕着我
唱“鬼节”之歌
歌颂丰收的圆月
我是鬼节的灯笼
咧着历历的獠牙
然而孩子们明白
我是在闹着玩。
