The kids started school at a great time, because this—the second day of school—was a fiesta. They celebrated the Fiesta Patria, their independence day with a short presentation and then a feast of traditional foods. Amy and I were able to attend the presentation. Two groups danced traditional dances: the fourth grade and the Pre-K.
Yes, this is Alexander’s class, and believe it or not, he danced the cueca--the traditional Chilean dance! They dressed him in a Chilean hat, gave him a hankerchief to twirl and he danced with a girl partner. It was so cute. Alexander did great, and the girl also did a good job of leading him around. Here's a photo, and an 8-second video of Zander.
