5th/6th Grade: October 19, 2016

In class today, we talked about how Chilean's celebrate Independence Day.

Ask your student:
  • How did you "celebrate" in Spanish class today?  (We listened to "La Cueca" music and watched a video of the dance.  We also played a simplified version of "Rayuela."  We didn't try any empanadas though!  If you feel like trying a new food with your family, check out THIS recipe.)
