"¡Feliz Navidad a todos! Disfrutad de estos días y vividlos con ojos
de niño, que ellos saben de ilusión más que nadie. Yo pienso fijarme en
qué hacen para imitarlo. "Un héroe o una heroína es aquella
persona que hace que los seres que tiene alrededor sean más felices".
Ese es el concepto de héroes que suelo hablar con los niños. Basándose en ese concepto, en Aragón TV hicieron este anuncio para
felicitar las navidades hace ahora tres temporadas, cuando estaba con
los niños y niñas de El Cuarto Hocico: protectora virtual de animales dirigida por niños. Como veréis, es válido para cada día. Un lujo compartir esta experiencia con las personas que aparecen junto a nosotros. Vídeo: Paula e Íker de EntropyStudios. " César Bona
"És temps de somniar - The best gift is life"
Inenarrable cuanto hemos vivido en la escuela esta semana, emociones en su estado más puro, final de trimestre, evaluar el progreso conseguido, celebrar los logros, aprender de los errores, preparar las fiestas, compartir, aportar, aprender, crecer y todo ello aunando esfuerzos, codo a codo, paso a paso, sonrisa a sonrisa incluso con alguna que otra lágrima pero siempre juntos...
El investigador en neurociencia asegura que el elemento esencial en el proceso de aprendizaje es la emoción porque sólo se puede aprender aquello que se ama, aquello que le dice algo nuevo a la persona, que significa algo... "Neuroeducación" - Francisco Mora, Alianza Editorial.
SIN EMOCIÓN NO HAY CURIOSIDAD, NO HAY ATENCIÓN, NO HAY APRENDIZAJE, NO HAY MEMORIA.
Santa is a teacher, and I have been his student, and now you know
the secret of how he gets down all those chimneys on Christmas Eve: he
has help from all the people whose hearts he's filled with joy.
So, no, I am not Santa. Santa is love and magic and hope and happiness. I'm on his team, and now you are, too.
Constitution Day (Día de la Constitución) marks the anniversary
of a referendum held in Spain on December 6th, 1978. In this referendum, a
new constitution was approved . This was an important step in Spain's
transition to becoming a constitutional monarchy and democracy.
Constitution Day is a national public holiday. Public life is generally
very quiet and most businesses and other organizations are closed. Most
stores are closed, although some bakers and food stores may be open.
Public transport services generally run to a reduced schedule, although
there may be no services in rural areas. Official ceremonies may cause
some congestion in Madrid.
The national flag of Spain consists of two horizontal red bands
separated by a yellow band. The red bands are of equal width and the
yellow band is twice as wide as each red band. This version of the flag
was confirmed in the constitution of 1978.
3rd December is International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD), a United Nations sanctioned day that celebrates progress in breaking down barriers, opening doors, and realising an inclusive society for all.

Thanksgiving is one of the most celebrated festivals in America. Americans celebrated this festival on the fourth Thursday of November (this year it is on the 26th).
Schools and businesses close, so many people have a four-day holiday to spend time with their families.
Traditionally, Thanksgiving was a day when people gave thanks for the year's harvest. The first Thanksgiving celebration was in 1621 when the early European settlers said "thank you" for their successful harvest in America.
In
September 1620, a group of English people called the Pilgrim Fathers
sailed from Plymouth, England across the Atlantic Ocean, in a ship
called the Mayflower, to Cape Cod in North America. They went
away from England because they did not agree with the religion in
England. They wanted to make a new life in a new country. They
sailed for sixty-six dangerous days across the Atlantic Ocean. When they
arrived, they called their new home New England, but they were not the
first people to live there. The Wampanoag were the first people.
Sometimes the Pilgrim Fathers fought with the Wampanoag, but they also
learned a lot from them. The Wampanoag taught them to live from their
new land, and to grow and cook new kinds of fruit and vegetables.
The
first winter was difficult. Many of the Pilgrim Fathers died because it
was very cold and they had little food. In the spring they started to
grow food, with the help of some friendly Wampanoag, and in the autumn
of 1621 they celebrated their first harvest. They gave thanks, not only
for the harvest, but for their new home, new life and new friends.
Black Friday started as an American tradition the day after Thanksgiving
each year. It is a day when shops offer fantastic discounts and deals
on loads of products and is seen as the kick-off to the Christmas
shopping season. Nowadays, Black Friday is also a popular day for
bargain hunters in different countries around the world including
Canada, Mexico, India, and the UK.
In India, one of the most significant festivals is Diwali, or the Festival of Lights. It's a fiveday celebration that includes good food, fireworks, colored sand, and special candles and lamps.
Indians light outside their homes to symbolize
the inner light that protects us from spiritual darkness. This festival
is as important to Hindus as the Christmas holiday is to Christians.
Diwali, celebrated in October or November each year, originated as a
harvest festival that marked the last harvest of the year before winter. The festival marks the victory of good over evil.
Five Days of Diwali
On the first day of Diwali, housewives consider it auspicious to spring clean the home and shop for gold or kitchen utensils.
On the second day, people decorate their homes with clay lamps or diyas and create design patterns called rangoli on the floor using colored powders or sand.
The third day is the main day of the festival when families gather together for Lakshmi puja, a prayer to Goddess Lakshmi followed by mouth-watering feasts and firework festivities.
The fourth day is the first day of the new year when friends and relatives visit with gifts and best wishes for the season.
On the last day of Diwali, brothers visit their married sisters who welcome them with love and a lavish meal.
For kids that live in India,
Diwali is like Christmas, except earlier. They get a week's vacation
from school, receive gifts from their parents and other relatives, wear
beautiful clothes, eat great food and get to play with fireworks! It is
no wonder that most kids consider Diwali the best festival of all.
Troubles as light as Air, Love as deep as the Ocean,
Friends as Solid as Diamonds, Success as bright as Gold…
