Dia de Tres Reyes

¡Bienvenidos! Welcome back to Spanish class after a great holiday break. Before the break we discussed Las Posadas a holiday that acted out the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. This week, even though most of our holiday celebrations have ended in Spanish speaking countries many people are still celebrating. On January 6 many countries celebrate Dia de Los Tres Reyes, or Three Kings Day. Students learned that children will leave out their shoes at night so that the kings will come and give them presents just like they brought Baby Jesus presents. We read a story about Three Kings Day and played a game that had to do with Pan de Reyes (bread of the Kings). We also made crowns to remember the three kings. Mrs. Simon's third grade class is modeling their crowns!
