Thanksgiving
In November, the students learned about the holiday Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is an American holiday at the end of November. On this day, families get together for a large meal and give thanks to the important things in their life. The students learned about typical Thanksgiving food like turkey, gravy, cranberies, mashed potatoes, corn bread and pumpkin pie. We wrote example thank you notes too. Also, we did an arts and craft activity to celebrate Thanksgiving. The students outlined their hands to make a turkey. The students then colored in their turkey drawings. We learned a lot about Thanksgiving!
Healthy Foods in Andalucia
With the second grade, we made a map of Andalucia and attached pictures of healthy food that can be found in each province. Students took turns coloring the poster and putting the pictures of food in the correct places. While working on this poster, students learned the English names like Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and Seville. Next to the map, there is a description of the most popular foods in English with ingredients. Some foods that were included were cous-cous, olive oil, migas, fried fish, wine, and paella.

Halloween 

Halloween was an activity for the whole school. All of the students dressed up like ghosts wearing black bags with ghosts attached. The students also wore pumpkin masks. The children enjoyed making their own outfits to celebrate halloween. Even the faculty dressed up that day. The children showed off their costumes on the playground and got lots of candy. Each class participated in halloween activities including arts and crafts and songs. The first and second graders created a poster with ghosts, pumpkins, and bats-typical halloween figures. Halloween was a fun celebration for both the teachers and the students.
