Canten con los Chicos Haitianos! Sing along with Haitian Children by getting a copy of this new 10-song CD for your youth group, sunday school and church activities.

---

The release of this new CD, 'Most Popular Haitian Children's Church Songs in French and Creole' is in response to the many requests obtained from U.S and Canadian Churches with missionary work in Haiti. Many missionaries have also written me about this CD.

Thanks for your long wait. I hope that many of these songs and choruses will help you worship, sing along and deepen your learning of the culture and Haitian languages.

As you may have already known this, Haiti has two official languages. While we are currently focusing on the language spoken by all Haitians, we will also pay attention to the other language, French. Creole and French exist side by side in Haiti. It makes sense that some of the popular songs are in French or both of the languages.

Most Popular Haitian Children's Songs and Choruses will get you acquainted with this bilingualism that exists in Haiti.

That is why we have created http://kreyolaudiomp3.blogspot.com to help Missionaries find some of the Christian CDs we are going to publish on this site. Good listening and please inform your friends and sister churches and other missionaries about this release!

Jou Konferans: Jou Entèvyou Ant Paran ak Mèt Lekòl

Nan lekòl Etazuni, jou konferans se jou paran gen entèvyou ak pwofesè oswa mèt lekòl. Yon fwa pa ane, papa oubyen manman elèv yo vini nan lekòl pou koze avèk mèt. Yo vle konnen ki kalite pwogrè pitit yo ap fè nan klas yo. Mèt Garcia nan premyè ane li nan lekòl la. Se premyè seri entèvyou l-ap bay. Kè-l ap bat anpil pandan l-ap tann paran yo. Yon papa antre nan klas la.

Mèt Garcia: Bonjou, mesye Jan. Ki sa- m ka fè pou ou?

Mesye Jan: Bonjou. M se papa AnaMari Rodriguez. Pitit fi-m nan nan klas Matematik ou a.

Mèt Garcia: (Li panse yon ti moman paske li gen anpil elèv fi nan klas matematik la.) Mèwi AnaMari se yon bon elèv. Li toujou pase tout egzamen li yo. Li pral fè yon bèl nòt nan klas mwen an.

Mesye Jan: O! Trè byen. Se trè byen sa. Eske AnaMari toujou fè devwa li?

Mèt Garcia: Wi. Mèwi. Pa gen anpil bon etudyan tankou pitit fi ou la nan tout lekòl la. Li toujou prepare leson li. Li reponn kesyon m poze-l tou. Li toujou pote liv ak plum li. Li fè yon bon travay

Mesye Jan: Mèsi Letènèl! Ou se premye mèt ki di sa. Tout lòt mèt yo di ke AnaMari sòt, enbesil, Yo di AnaMari pa janm vle fè dewa li, ke li pase tout jounen an san li pa etudye. Tout sa li fè se selman se panse ak tigason.

Mèt Garcia: Non, Mesye. Pitit fi ou la pa konsa. Lòt mèt yo dwe fè erè.

Mesye Jan: Mèsi anpil. Mèsi anpil.

Mèt Garcia: Aprè sis minut. Yon lòt paran antre nan klas la.

Mesye Jansibon Rodrigues: Bonjou Mesye. M se papa AnaMaria Rodrigues. Pitit fi-m nan nan klas Matematik ou a

Mèt Garcia: (Li etone. Li surpri anpil). AnaMaria Rodrigues. O! Bondye! Se
AnaMaria pa ou la ki se bon elèv la. M te fè yon erè. Gen de AnaMaria nan klass mwen yo.







--------------El Dia De Conferencia: El Dia de Entrevista Entre Padres y Maestros------------

En las escuelas de los Estados Unidos, los dias de conferencia son los dias cuando padres tienen una entrevista entre los profesores o maestros. Una vez al año, los padres o las madres de los alumnos vienen a las escuelas para platicar con los maestros. Quieren saber que tipo de progreso sus niños estan haciendo en las clases. Maestro Gracia está en su primer año de enseñanza en la escuela. Es el primer grupo de entrevistas que el está dando. El espera nerviosamente la llegada de los padres (Su corazón palpita mucho mientras espera a los padres)

Maestro Garcia: Buenos Días! En qué puedo servirle?

Sr. Juan: Buenos Días! Soy el padre de AnaMaria Rodriguez. Mi hija está en su clase de Matemáticas.

Maestro Garcia: (Piensa un momentito porque tiene muchas alumnas en sus clases.). Ah sí. AnaMari es una alumna excelente. Siempre sale bien en los exámenes. Va a sacar una nota buena en mi clase.

Sr. Juan: Ay, qué bueno! Hace siempre AnaMari su tarea?

Maestro Garcia: Claro que sí. En la escuela no hay muchas como ella. Siempre prepara sus lecciones y contesta mis preguntas. Trae sus libros y su pluma todos los dias. Hace buen trabajo.
