Dear Parents and Guardians,
Last Friday was a big day for our Spanish students. Mrs. Rosario was lovely in her bright yellow Flamenco dress, as she performed seven different Spanish dances for our students. The children were impressed by her heal-tapping and by the sounds she made with her castanets. They were also able to recognize many of the items they had studied during the fall: the castanets, the mantón (shawl) and the pericón (dance fan).
This week many of the students have been writing and illustrating thank you letters to Mrs. Rosario. They've also been making Guatemalan friendship bracelets to give to their families and friends over the holidays. Like Rosita in the story "A Gift for Abuela," they've been weaving all their good wishes into their bracelets...
"¡GRACIAS!" for all the support you've given your children this year, and have a "FELIZ" holiday and a "FANTÁSTICO" New Year!! Sra. Starr
