Feliz cumpleaños Marina!
Yesterday Marina, CIEE Beginning Spanish language instructor, celebrated her birthday, so students had the opportunity to sing happy birthday to her in Spanish! A good day to practice numbers, names of desserts, and the structure of the family, for example. Students might not know but they could have pulled Marina's ears as many times as her number of years old, which is a Spanish tradition. Shhhhhhh, I am sure Marina is happy they did not know this.
