5th and 6th Grade: March 6, 2019

Over the next few weeks, we'll be talking about a popular Spanish festival, Las Fallas.  The festival takes place every March in Valencia, Spain.  We'll be reading a short story (in Spanish!) to learn about the festival and review a lot of the vocabulary we have learned this year.

Ask your student
  • What is what thing you learned about "Las Fallas" so far?  (It's a festival in Valencia, Spain.  It takes place in March.  They make huge statues out of wood and paper mache and burn them.)
