I can’t believe that the school year is almost over! I’ve enjoyed seeing the growth of the students from the beginning to the end of the year. Those who were shy are now confident and ready for new challenges. In the Lower School 3 and Upper School 1 classrooms, students have been participating in many cultural activities, which give the students another perspective in learning the Spanish language. International festivals play an important part in learning a second language.   We made a piñata, and the students decided what shape or characteristic they wanted the piñata to be. We decide on a Ballena Azul: a Blue Whale. One of the students drew the pattern for the piñata, while others got involved in making the structure, and some helped with the decoration. It was fun to experience the students’ excitement; they often asked about how many more days were left until the Fiesta. One of the best parts of the Fiesta was eating Paletas and hitting the Piñata. It was fun!
