Las Posadas

Las Posadas is one of the five festivals of light studied in kindergarten. It is the Mexican celebration of the quest for hospitality within the nativity story.

Children are lead by the elected Maria y Jose through the community asking for 'posadas' (room at the inn). During our parade through Ainsworth we sang "Noche Buena" a carol dedicated to ninos y ninas and the magic of the Noche Buena (the Holy Night).

Lucia and Jame were chosen to represent our kindergarten Maria y Jose.
Some first grade kindergarten alumi enjoyed hearing our song and reminiscing of holidays gone by.


Once we found our posadas we celebrated with buenulos (good kid candy).
