Thanksgiving Day

Today it's Thanksgiving Day in the USA.

If you want to know more about this festivity try reading Teresa's version of the festivity or Samuel's presentation. It will let you know about the most important aspects of this celebration. I hope you like it.

Then you can also read or do some of the activities Isabel Pérez has gathered for you.

If you are one of the students in the ESO-3/4 bilingual sections at CPI Tino Grandío you are invited to send in your profile for the eTwinning project, International Calendar 2011-2012.  This way our Polish and Lithuanian partners will know you. Besides some of them want to know you because we are trying to find pen pals among them.

• So you can write about:
• You: describe yourself, your family and friends
• What you like and don't like
• Your village
• Your school
• Your free time
• Important events in your past and what you want to do in the future.

And you can also upload some photos. Remember that the folder which contains our profiles won't be made public.
