Students also identified the similarities and differences of children in the USA versus children in Costa Rica.

Weeks 16 - 17
The learning focus for these weeks was a review of basic storytelling, as well as reading about the history of the Poinsettia flower that ties back to Mexico. We also talked about Christmas traditions around the world, focusing on Las Posadas, celebrated in Mexico. Depending on the students' level, they watched an appropriate video presentation on Las Posadas as well. Students also had the pleasure of watching some Christmas "shorts" or short YouTube videos that are in general of a heartwarming nature, to warm up to the spirit of Christmas (ie... love, family, being thankful & giving).
