Feliz Año Nuevo


Happy New Year! I hope everybody had a great winter break. I am happy to have the children back in the classroom, I missed them!! Before the Holidays we talked in class about how people welcome the New Year in Spain: on New Year's Eve friends and families wait for the clock to strike midnight on the streets or at home in front of the TV. Every time the bell strikes we eat one grape, that makes a total of 12 grapes. Then, adults and children toast (with juice, of course) for the New Year and wish each other health, love, money and luck. Even Nico ate the 12 grapes!!
