Friday May 31, 2013

Friday was a VERY exciting day at school.  The students were only in class until noon and the rest of the afternoon was dedicated to a Dia de los Ninos celebration.  Dia de los Ninos is a holiday similar to mother's day or father's day but instead it is a day to celebrate kids!

One of my classes.  The students were able to dress up because of the celebration.  Hooray for no uniforms!

The school transformed into a giant playground.  There was cotton candy, pizza, soda, moon bounces, music and face painting.  The kids were in heaven.  

The boys really got into dancing.  

Here they are performing Gangnam Style in front of a large audience.  

This is my cooperating teacher, Renata.

My classmates and I had so much fun on Friday!  We think we need to bring this holiday to the United States!
