One of the highlights of our semester was exploring\u00a0Spanish-speaking countries and their capitals<\/strong>. We learned different fun facts and explored various regions, discovering their unique cultures and traditions. We are currently completing a unit on travel, where we are learning vocabulary related to packing for a trip, navigating the airport, and the excursions and activities that people enjoy while on vacation. \ud83c\udf0e\u2708\ufe0f\ud83c\udf34<\/p>\n We also celebrated various\u00a0Hispanic holidays<\/strong>. We learned about\u00a0La Tomatina<\/strong>, where people throw tomatoes at each other, and\u00a0D\u00eda de los Muertos<\/strong>, a beautiful celebration honoring our loved ones who have passed away.

We discovered its rich culture, diverse geography, and delicious food. We learned about its traditions and how the people celebrate their heritage. \ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddf4<\/p>\n As we wrap up this semester, I am so proud of how much each of you has learned and grown!
