Día de Andalucía

El Día de Andalucía se celebra el 28 de febreo. En muchos pueblos y ciudades se decoran los balcones con la bandera de Andalucía . En los colegios, aunque la semana del 28 de febrero es festiva, se llama Semana Blanca, el viernes de la semana anterior es un día festivo en el colegio. Los alumnos toman el desayuno andaluz, que consiste en nuestro colegio de pan con aciete de olivo y cola cao or "hot chocolate." Tambien colorean dibujos referentes a los símbolos de Andalucía, su historia y sus costumbres.

The Día de Andalucía is celebrated 28 of February. In many towns and cities they decorate their balconies with the Andalucían flag. In the schools, even though the week of the 28 of February is a Holiday called Semana Blanca, the Friday before is a day of celebration in the schools. The students get to leave class to eat a tipical breakfast served by the parents in the cafeteria. They eat bread with olive oil and hot chocolate. Students also color pictures that symbolize the history and custums of Andalucía.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

In the USA we celebrate peace day on the 21st of September, but in January we celebrate a man who was a civil rights leader in the USA. His name was Martin Luther King Jr. He fought for the rights and the equality of african american's in the USA. In this way children in America celebrate some of the same ideas about peace as children in Spain. We celebrate this holiday by learning about Kings efforts to bring justice to all people in the USA and usually read his famous speach called,"I have a dream." His famous line, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character," still resonates today. Schools across the country take advantage of this time of year to teach students about Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights movement, and the importance of racial equality. People also celebrate this day by serving people who are in need, conducting parades, or planning activities.

peace for me

Peace for me is when people are free to live without danger. When the world is without violence and conflict.

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I hope that the holidays are a time of peace and joy for everyone. For me Christmas is spent with my family. We celebrate together at my grandparents farm in the country. I have a lot of aunts, uncles and cousins and we usually spend the day sleding and playing in the snow. We always eat a big meal in the middle of the day. My grandma cooks ham, mashed potatoes and gravy with vegetables and plenty of desserts, like sugar cookies and chocolate pie.
