Carnaval!

On Thursday, San Fernando (the school I teach at) celebrated carnaval, which is essentially the Spanish version of Mardi Gras.  All the children dressed up in themed costumes.  The school's theme was puppets, so each class was dressed as some type of puppet.  There were animal hand puppets, skeleton marionettes, witches/wizards, magicians, fairies, devils, and many more.  It was similar to Halloween in the USA where everyone was in costumes.  Each grade also performed a dance (as they did at Christmas).  The event was so cute and the kids seemed to be having the time of their lives.  I dressed as a skeleton and Victoria dressed as a magician and even did a card trick for the students!
