Cristiano Ronaldo (Ronaldino!) Soccer Story Time

We're combining biography study with the love of the world's most popular game this week.  Ronaldino is my favorite, but you could study Messi, or any of the other big stars!


English:  Soccer (Comes from SOCial Football Clubs... no kindergarten student would really care, but it is an interesting etymology!)

Spanish: Futbol

Sign Language (ASL): http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/s/soccer.htm One hand in letter "B", the other shaped like a ball (fist.)  Strike the "ball" with the "foot" twice.  Easy!  Fun!

BIOGRAPHY:  I love the facts about his youth on this website: http://mocomi.com/cristiano-ronaldo-biography/

We read:  Cristiano Ronaldo (Power Kids Press, 2008)... then
  *  I Can Play Soccer by Edana Ekhart 
  *  Futbol=Soccer by Holly Karpetekova
  *  Froggy Plays Soccer by Jonathan London
  *  Datos Geniales Sobre Futbol=Cool Soccer Facts

Activity:  When it rained, we did find a cool coloring page on the Crayola site.  On sunny days, we went outside with a couple soccer balls and practiced hitting goals!
