We have a big week ahead! Wednesday is our 100th day celebration and Friday is our Culture Study Showcase. We have two holidays that we are planning to showcase on Friday. The first is Festival de los Patios which we have been working on by making tissue paper flowers to transform our Common Area into a Spanish patio. Becky Miller's (Luke's mom) set design class is helping us a great deal with this transformation. We are grateful for their partnership! Friday we began studying about St. Isidore. In Madrid they have quite a celebration honoring this saint! Friday we will dress up as a part of our presentation. Read the description below for details about these costumes.
"...typical dress with the men wearing a flat check cap, waistcoat and handkerchief around their necks and the women wearing elegant dresses, a head scarf and a shawl." (Information from http://www.spanish-fiestas.com/spanish-festivals/san-isidro.htm)
We have some supplies to make vests (waistcoats) for the boys and head scarves for the girls. However, I would love the boys can come to school wearing dark pants and white shirts and the girls to wear a bright colored dress to add to our costume. Also, if you have a scarf or shawl for your daughter to borrow that would be great too! Do not go shopping for anything--we will work with and enjoy whatever comes close!
Below is a look at what we will be doing next week:
