Hola, compañeros y compañeras de España. ¿Cómo están?

Nosotros vivimos en un pueblo llamado Harvard en el estado de Illinois. Harvard es un pueblo chiquito con una población de 9,394 personas según datos de julio de 2017. Nuestro huso horario es diferente al de España por 7 horas, cuando en Harvard son las 11 de la mañana en España son las 6 de la tarde.

Vamos a Harvard Junior High School y tenemos 9 periodos de clases. Nuestros compañeros les hablarán más de la escuela. A cada uno nos gusta una clase diferente, no nos ponemos de acuerdo.

Nosotros hablamos inglés y español. En Harvard hay personas de muchas nacionalidades, sobre todo de Estados Unidos y de México. ¿Cómo es el pueblo de ustedes?

Hello!

We are going to explain to you about last Chestnut and Halloween party. We watched a movie, we played board games and we danced with some music. Also, our teachers baked some chestnuts and 8th grade students help them to hand out a bag for each student. Later, some our parents gave chocolate to everybody. We were very happy because it was delicious!

We dressed up with different costumes like the 'exorcist girl', Pennywise, Jason from Friday the 13th and so on. We had a lot of fun and it was very funny! We are sending you some pictures to chek it all out. Please, do not laugh at us!

Hello friends!

Dear American friends,

We are the students of 1st of ESO (7th grade, Middle School) at Pedagogium Cos, a school placed in Sant Boi de Llobregat, a town very near to Barcelona.

We are very excited about meeting new friends from the other side of the world! We think that getting in touch for the whole year will be a great experience!

Last week we celebrated one of our favourite parties. In Catalan, we call it La Castanyada (the Chestnut party). It is a tradition here and we will write a post next week explaining it to you. But do not worry, we like dressing up for Halloween too!

Please tell us about what is a Halloween party like in the USA? Do you really do 'trick and treat' like in the movies?

We send you a big hug! We are looking forward to knowing about you!
