We just got back from break for La Navidad, and the students are working hard learning new vocabulary, grammar, and interesting aspects of Hispanic Culture. We just finished our lessons about España and the famous artist, El Greco. Students created their own drawings of Los Santos (the Saints) after viewing several works by El Greco. Our current topic that we are studying in class is El Día de los Reyes. We are talking about the different types of celebrations held in Spain, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the countries of Central and South America. The students in Grades 6-8 even had the opportunity to taste some Rosca de Reyes (Three King’s Day Bread). I always look forward to this exciting time of year!
