<U>Week of December 14th<BR>
</U><BR>
In our last class of the year, we are having some popcorn <EM>(palomitas de maiz) </EM>while we watch our plays. Then we are talking about Christmas in Chile comparing what is the same, <EM>igual,</EM>  or different, <EM>diferente.</EM> The main difference is that Christmas in Chile falls during summer. Many of the traditions, and the meaning of Christmas, are the same.<BR>
<BR>
I hope you have a great Christmas break! <FONT style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 14pt" size=3 face="Times New Roman">¡Feliz Navidad!<BR>

</U>We are working on the verb "ir" (to go) and planning what we will do in Portillo. One common way to express future actions is to use the present of the verb ir + a + the infinitive. In Spanish we would say "Yo voy a esquiar." In English the equivalent is to say "I am going to ski." </DIV>
