The night before the journey

***These blogs are written by a preschool teacher intended for the viewing of preschool children and their families. Therefore if the content seems a bit simple or obvious it is because it probably is not simple or obvious for the three year old's hearing about it!***

it is the night before my trip begins although in a way it has already begun. The floor is a mess with things to pack for I have waited until the last minute for this task!

I am bringing a large yellow hiking backpack and a small green backpack (like a school bag). The large bag will be checked in at the airport and the smaller bag will be carried with me on the airplane. I will fly to Atlanta Georgia and wait an hour before flying to Madrid in Spain. Spain is a different country. The language is different as is the food customs and way of life. The language they speak is Spanish. We speak some Spanish words in the United States (the country we live in) without thinking about it like "sombrero" which is what we call cow-boy hats. No means the same in English (ingles) and Spanish (espanol). For fun here are the numbers 1-10 in Spanish:

uno, dos, tress, quatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez!

Can you hold your fingers up while counting 1- 10 in spanish?

Looking forward to my next blog. Good night for now or shall I say, buenos noches (which also means good night)!

(important spanish punctuation not included for the simple reason of I'm not sure how to do it!)
