On Friday April 19th we will be celebrating American Day. The entire school will come together for a morning of fun and games. The children will play 5 different games representing America. At break time the 6th graders will perform a dance to an English song and everyone will eat delicous hot dogs. Pictured here is an image of the days schedule including the names of all the games, what time each class will play and where. The names of the games are; baseball, relay races, sack race, tug of war, musical chairs and sharks and minows. Each group will rotate around the grounds of the school and try each game. Stay tuned for videos and more pictures of American Day! 

This year our 5th and 6th grade classes have been corresponding with students from a middle school in the United States. The students write letters to their pen pals in English while the US students respond in Spanish. This activity allows the kids to practice their written skills in English while making new friends from a different country. Above is a picture of Stony Brook School in Massachusetts where the American children attend. Featured below are some examples of letters written by our students.

On Monday January 14th our 5th graders prepared a traditional American Breakfast. The menu included scrambled eggs, fried bacon, freshly squeezed orange juice, toast, cereal and more! The children all brought something from home to contribute to the feast. After splitting into teams each group of students prepared one of the items.Whether it was setting the table, making the juice, or toasting the toast it was a group effort to make such a yummy meal. Quickly a delicious aroma filled the room and everyone sat down to enjoy the food after all their hard work.

American Breakfast: 5th Grade

Juicy bacon sizzling on the stove, scrambled eggs, freshly squeezed orange juice, Choco crunch cereals, buttered toast- all staples of the traditional all-american breakfast. And all present at Abanqueiro school on a unique  Thursday morning in January. As part of their unit on foods and nutrition in Teacher Fran´s English class, the 5th grade class joined together to cook an American breakfast to enhance their learning of the foods in English, and also to experience a typical meal from an English-speaking country. All cooking and eating took place in the lunch room at Abanqueiro.
