Spanish 3 Students Celebrate Tió de Nadal Tradition

Mrs. Mejia
This week, Spanish 3 CP students explored the unique and festive tradition of Tió de Nadal, also known as Caga Tió, from Cataluña, Spain. After learning about the quirky Christmas tradition, where families "feed" a decorated log leading up to Christmas and then sing songs while "encouraging" it to give small gifts, students had the chance to listen to traditional Caga Tió songs in class.

To bring the tradition to life, students created their own mini versions of the Tió de Nadal as ornaments, decorating them with bright smiles, cozy blankets, and/or festive hats. This hands-on project was a fun and creative way to wrap up the semester while diving into Spanish culture and holiday traditions. ¡Feliz Navidad!
