Tezca Arrives in Michigan!

Tezca has arrived in New Buffalo! We could hardly contain ourselves when the package arrived just before the end of our school day. We were taking a Social Studies test on the USA's 50 states when the box was delivered. Of course, we immediately stopped what we were doing and focused all of our attention on welcoming our new friend. You should have heard all the "oooooohs" and "aaaaaahhhs" as each new thing was removed from the box!

We loved, Loved, LOVED the gifts. Thank you very much! Each student selected a favorite to keep forever.

This weekend, we celebrate Halloween, and Tezca is lucky enough to join in the fun. This holiday traditionally happens on October 31st every year, but here in New Buffalo students go trick-or-treating on the Sunday before the official holiday. Trick-or-treating is when children go to houses in their neighborhood, ring the doorbells, and say, "Trick or Treat!" If the people in the house don't give the children candy, then the kids may play a trick on them (but no one ever does - it's all about the candy, really). Other nearby towns celebrate Halloween on the actual day; as a matter of fact, we'll have our school Halloween parade and party on the 31st and Tezca will be a part of that, too.
