As you can tell by the captions, Necco, the company that makes them, uses a combination of classic sayings along with more modern ones like “tweet me” and “text me.”

While the prize for the contest is to be determined, maybe it will be a feature on the blog! Check back later this month and see the results! And please submit!

Until next time!

 

Getting ready for our Open House!

As you may already know, we are having an Open House on Tuesday 4 February at 17:30 (5:30 PM) at our school. We have been working hard in our Infantil and bilingual Primary School groups (1st and 2nd grades in the USA, 1st and 2nd years in the UK) on decorations in English for our beautiful holidays. Enjoy these photos!
