Hola Familias - we had so much fun acting out the story of my great-great-great-great-grandparents from Spain and El Salvador! It was an exceptional day, as the pictures will show, the kids enacted the beautiful story with an indian princess, and a Spaniard, and love and happiness. The kids also worked on body parts and colors, reviewed some songs, learned Thanksgiving songs and made Thanksgiving cards. They also enjoyed speaking Spanish to each other!

LA TAREA/Homework: LISTEN TO THE CD!!!!!Review old songs, learn El Chocolate, Esta Tierra es Tu Tierra and THANKSGIVING SONGS and practice speaking Spanish!

REMINDERS: Could the children please eat, drink and go to the bathroom before class?

NOTE: Would families feel comfortable with Christmas music and a song about Mary(Jesus' mother) on our next CD? If not, I can easily eliminate those songs. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I'm currently thinking I'll eliminate the prayer about Mary, but tell the story of her appearance in Mexico. Would the Christmas songs be okay?

Hola - We had a wonderful time celebrating El Dia de los Muertos! Muchas gracias for providing pictures for the altar! We sang a song about making Mexican chocolate. The children had a special ceremony around the altar, with candles and pictures, and then, everybody went outside to taste "el Pan de los Muertos" with a cup of hot Mexican chocolate!
We also sang "This Land is Your Land", waved American flags and decorated cards to give to a veteran!
