Celia Cruz, Queen of Salsa

Celia Cruz, Queen of Salsa | Veronica Chambers

#TLT @dabbe

I'm gonna be honest, I am terrible remembering artists/bands and song titles. I probably would have a higher score (46%).

Top favorite: La Vida Es Un Carnaval by Celia Cruz, Under Pressure by Queen & David Bowie, Amor Prohibido by Selena.

BookmarkTavern Thanks for the tag! 7mo

dabbe I am, too! That's why I created a Spotify list--I needed to do a quick listen to a few and gained about 10 more just by doing that! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🤩🤩🤩 7mo

This B book would be great to use for spanish heritage month for the classroom. It talks about the life of the Cuban queen of salsa Celia Cruz and how she changed her path of being a teacher and became the wonderful singer she was. It was not an easy path as it never is and has a great theme of if you pursue your dreams and work hard enough they can come true. Great for a SR and presenting to the class when talking about famous people's history.

KatiaP The UDL standards you can use is 7.1 & 7.2 optimizing student autonomy and choice as well as relevance, value, and authenticity by allowing the student pick and share this story with their classmates. The ESOL standards I would use is 4 linking lesson to prior knowledge by relating their knowledge of Spanish heritage and music by showing them a Celia Cruz song. For the authors website : http://www.veronicachambers.com/. #UCFLAE3414SP20 5y

DrSpalding What an excellent idea to use this biography during Spanish heritage month. I love the idea of sharing her music as well. This truly would meet the English learner strategy regarding culture as well. 5y

This biographical picture book is about one of the biggest idols from my own culture, Celia Cruz. Celia Cruz was a singer from Havana, Cuba who became known for being “La Reina de la Salsa“ or the queen of Salsa. http://www.monicabrown.net/files/Tools_for_Teachers_CELIA.doc
This book would best be taught through RA using ESOL strategy 5 and EDL 2.1 to clarify the spanish language vocabulary and promote understanding.

kgarzon This looks like a really cool biography to use in the classroom! Definitely adding to my to-read list :) 5y

fabozzia This book, just from the cover, looks very cool and makes me want to read it. It is a great book to bring into the classroom and brings some new things, like the salsa, to introduce to the students. 5y

cassandram Oooo very interesting book!! Definitely would want to read this. Also would be great for Hispanic heritage month. 5y

DrSpalding I am adding this to my stack! I can just imagine reading this book with salsa music playing in the background. 5y

CPettersen @DrSpalding play “guantanamera” by Celia Cruz really softly in the background while reading this one. 5y

#AyUpAugust Day 25: I did not know about this Cuban-African-American singer who was born “in the fabled land of Havana” until I found this picturebook biography of Veronica Chambers. Her voice is so legendary that when she sang:
“Her father heard thunder.
Her cousins heard the call of the sea.
Her neighbors heard a hummingbird.”
