Día del Idioma means Language Day where the Spanish language is celebrated by every class in the school.

Maggie ~ At the festival we did something like Alice in Wonderland, but it was like Alice and Colombia, learning different cultures. On my line I kind of got nervous, so then I kind of forgot my line...but everyone says I did fine. Alice went all over Colombia. I represented Orinoquia and talked about tropical stuff.

Here's a glimpse at Maggie's part...


Alex ~ My class did a dance. The song talked about how Colombia was a place of peace. It talked about how God took a rest in the seas when he was done with creation. Its main point was that Colombia is a good place to be and that their citizens love it. It was a tricky dance! We all wore Colombia soccer jerseys.

We went to get eye exams and we found out that I needed glasses. I had to wear these special things to see what type of glasses I need. I was kind of afraid of getting glasses because I thought everyone would think I looked weird. But when everyone saw they just got used to it. I'm wearing them now.

I got to the final five in the spelling bee. In the final five I came in second place. I was stressed out and felt like I was sweating. I got one word wrong and that's why I came in second place. Being in second place, the winners - first and second of each grade - got to go to McDonald's.
