Adiós vacaciones | 2° grado [ESP-ENG]

Receiving the summer vacations after the end of the school year, allows the body to rest and renew energy for new demands that promote creativity. It is also an opportunity to carry out different activities and share unforgettable events with the family. On December 22, 2023, the vacations ended in Argentina, very close to Christmas and New Year's; the excitement, walks and family enjoyment are essential to starting the new school year 2024 with a good vibe in March. Amanda says goodbye to the vacations, describing what she did.

Second grade is coming in the distance, but I don't worry; it's still a long way off. It's time to go to sleep and play. The first days of Christmas I spent with my friend Jeremiah in the park near the house. We did everything—that is to say, we ran, climbed and snacked. On December 25, we visited the province of Tigre, we went for a walk as a family, but we could not get on the boats. The interesting thing was that I got to know the static energy in the park; that day I laughed a lot, and as mom says, I learned something new. I said goodbye to December on my best friend Sofia's birthday. That day, we dressed up and went to the local plays.

January arrived, and I was still far from starting the school year. I continued having fun. I started the summer camp, and I decided to spend my vacations at the Parque Patricio sports center, a place to learn to swim in a recreational way. In the month of January, I had two birthdays: the first one for my friend Juan, which was in a swimming pool; it was very hot, so I enjoyed it; then, the second one for my friend Guadalupe, there was fun in the inflatable park. Finally, I had a costume party with my friend Sofia. We made a mess in the room, and happiness recreated laughter on the face. I closed the month of January with my sister's birthday and said goodbye to the summer camp.

February caught up with me, and now I had less time to start the school year. My brother had a birthday, and we made him a cheesecake. In January, every Saturday I went to the Magic Workshop; my friend Sofia's father created the space to learn how to play with plastic arts, which allowed me to have a nice time. We celebrated the day of love as a family in a restaurant. The food was delicious, and the french fries were the best. I had a check-up with the pediatrician and dentist; while mom was buying the climbing tools. Reading, writing and math activities were resumed to review knowledge. Of course, I did not stop playing with my toys; I was allowed to play with the phone for a short period of time. I went to eat at the Chacaíto restaurant located in Palermo, there I tasted the tequeyoyos, the richest of Venezuelan food; on the wall there was a caricature in photography of recognized characters of Venezuela; besides, my father tried to make a call to the country 🤣.

Now yes, I say goodbye to vacations and welcome second grade, together with my teacher Lujan, who for me is the best. I am ready to face new challenges and solve problems. Vacations, my dear Motherhood family, are important. We need to rest and learn from others, form concepts and put them into practice, making it fun so that the experience lasts in our emotional and personal maturity because we relax. Without vacations, the demand of responsibilities exhausts the mental exercise and leads to possible frustrations that can affect self-esteem. After recovering, we are ready to assimilate new school ideas that are sure to require more effort.
