The Spanish students had a nice Christmas party in December. The students from Glasco joined us for the celebration. They enjoyed breaking piñatas made by our Spanish II classes. They enjoyed a meal of Mexican foods furnished by Spanish I.

Making & Breaking piñatas
The Spanish I students are starting to read their first novel all in Spanish. It is about a girl from Guatemala. They are learning some about the culture of Guatemala as they read. They have been working on other stories and made up some of their own as a class. They listen to and sing quite a few songs and seem to enjoy it.
The Spanish II students are working on reading a novel about a boy and his family that went on a cruise to visit Mayan ruins on the Yucatan Peninsula. They, too, have worked on other stories part of the time. The students also are learning quite a few songs and enjoy them.
Kansas Day will soon be here so we all wish you a ¡Feliz Día de Kansas!
