FHS Spanish classes celebrated and learned about Dia de Muertos during the month of November. This is a holiday to celebrate, honor and remember our loved ones who have passed away. This is a colorful and joyful celebration and is often misunderstood in the United States. Spanish I and II decorated sugar skulls (calaveras de azucar) and skeletons (calacas).




To wrap up our nursery rhymes unit, Florence Kindergartners & their families created awesome designs to protect Humpty from his great fall! It was a fun &creative activity that brought families together to bring this classic rhyme to life! #HumptyDumpty #GoFloCats








Spanish 4 finished their study of the past tenses (imperfect & preterite) by writing, illustrating, & presenting their books. A tough concept to master, but the stories were EXCELENTES Y MUY CREATIVAS! They enjoyed presenting their work & showcasing their mastery of these tenses.





Florence kindergartners casted their ballots for their favorite candidate during Florence Elementary's mock presidential election.
