What are your plans for Spring Break? Que haras en tus vacaciones de primavera?

After a long week, that included TAKS and a lot of pressure, we have to come to school only for 5 more days. On Friday the 14th, Irving ISD starts officially the Spring Break and a whole week relax. Vacations are always welcome, right!?!? However, here - in the 4th grade group - we expect EVERYONE to still dedicate in a dayly basis a few minutes to read a good book.

The question is... what will you do or you want to do during Spring Break?

Despues de una larga semana, que incluyo al examen TAKS y mucha presion, tenemos que ir a la escuela por solamente 5 dias mas. El viernes 14 empiezan oficialmente las vacaciones de primavera o Spring Break y una semana entera de descanso. Las vacaciones siempre son bienvenidas, verdad!?!? Sin embargo, aqui - en el grupo del cuarto grado - tenemos las expectativas de que TODOS aun dedicaran a diario unos minutos para leer un buen libro.

La pregunta es... que haras o que quieres hacer en estas vacaciones?
