A Good 2023- Happy New Year

 December 31/Jan 1 has arrived and we hope it is a good time for everyone. This year we are going to make some new intentions and release some past activities or things we hold onto that does not follow pura vida (pure life). If you are unfamiliar kindly read this: https://youtu.be/u52UUO6vN-E    Perhaps the best place to do so is near a fireplace. We made one, however you can also go online to this virtual fire place where you can write out your new intentions: https://freefireplaces.com/






Thinking of a fireplace also made of think of a book we read, The Little Match Girl, and the jubilee version of it that we recently read from the Toronto Public Library: 


There is a loving online read of this book by Ewan McGregor: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EHnDT1SO8sc

Here are some goodies for the New Year for you to enjoy:

  • Need a free calendar for 2023 you just click and instant download: https://www.thenaturalhomeschool.com/organize-your-homeschool-printable-calendar.html
  • You simply provide your name and email then you can download this neat time capsule free printable:  https://prettyprovidence.com/new-years-time-capsule-printable-questionnaire-kids/  since I do not have access to a printer we created a repliWip
  • This kind teacher has a lovely free 2023 product: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/FreeDownload/New-Years-Goals-Freebie-1613677

Instead of renewing a word of the year (we are going to keep that for an academic year not a calendar year) we decided to choose a song of the year and our song of 2023 is Yonaguni by Bad Bunny:

Una noche de más y copas de más

Tú no me dejas en paz de mi mente no te vas

Aunque sé que no debo, ¡ey!

Pensar en ti, bebé, pero cuando bebo

Me viene tu nombre y tu cara tu risa y tu pelo, ¡ey!

Dime dónde tú estás, qué yo por ti cojo un vuelo

Y a yonaguni le llego

Aunque sé que no debo, ¡ey!

Pensar en ti, bebé pero cuando bebo

Me viene tu nombre y tu cara tu risa y tu pelo

Dime dónde tú estás, qué yo por ti cojo un vuelo

Y a yonaguni le llego

No me busques en Instagram

Mami búscame en casa

Pa' que vea' lo que pasa, ¡ey!

Si tú me pruebas, te casas, ¡ey!

Ese cabrón ni te abraza

Y yo loco por tocarte

Pero ni me atrevo a textearte

Tú con cualquier outift la partes

Mami, tú eres aparte

Shorty, tiene un culo bien grande, ¡ey!

De-demasiado grande

Ya lo tengo estudia'o, ya mismo me graduó

Y en la cara me lo tatúo

Vi que viste mi story y subiste una pa' mi

Yo que me iba a dormir, ¡ey!

En la disco había mil

Y yo bailando contigo en mi mente

Aunque sé que no debo, ¡ey!

Pensar en ti, bebé, pero cuando bebo

Me viene tu nombre y tu cara tu risa y tu pelo

Dime dónde tú estás, qué yo por ti cojo un vuelo

Y a yonaguni le llego

Si me das tu dirección, yo te mando mil cartas

Si me das tu cuenta de banco, un millón de pesos

To'a la noche arrodillado a Dios le rezo

Pa' que antes que se acabe el año tú me des un beso

Y empezar el 2023 bien cabrón

Contigo y un blunt

Tú te ves asesina con ese man

Me matas sin un pistolón

Y yo te compro un banshee

Gucci, Givenchy

Un poodle, un frenchie

El pasto, los munches

Te canto un mariachi

Me convierto un Itachi, ¡he!

If you get a chance to watch the video, https://youtu.be/doLMt10ytHY, it is adorable and it translates from Spanish to English 2023 will be a good year despite the fact he did not write the song in 2023. 

If you are wondering why do we pay attention to this moment in time, there is a cute video regarding the reason for celebrating New Year: https://youtu.be/lsxtBA--6E0 

    Barron and I began to reflect of New Year's from the past and traditionally people used to call people around the world if they could not be there with them. We found a lovely free resource offered by the kind creators at: https://www.stephaniehathawaydesigns.com/freeprintables/alexander-graham-bell-inventer-of-the-telephone-freebie   Barron completed the Anatomy of a Telephone: 

A nice video about Scotland's Alexander Graham Bell and hise invention of the telephone can be viewed at: https://youtu.be/VNbFLCZ9KEY This is a screenshot from the video which reminds us of earlier forms of communication.


Barron inquired about the types of phones that existed after watching this clip: We watched a video about what people did before the cell phone: https://youtu.be/TfIkwm-EPeg We also watched a video on the 1980's rotary phone and a push button phone: https://youtu.be/u52UUO6vN-Ed and https://youtu.be/_8xzSCYVxNk and from the film Diary of a Wimpy Kid you can ind this adorable scene: https://youtu.be/CElW5PXAmiM   The film Home Alone also reminds us of the importance of hanging up those style of phones: https://youtu.be/VZdjWTeh9eE

Couldn't let this moment go by without sharing that fact that interestingly there was an artist named Franz Kline who used to draw sketches on telephone book pages, although he often worked with regular house paint to create his masterpieces he still repurposed a regular common household product, according to this lovely artist and his webpage: https://gregcartmell.com/blog more on the author in this video with artist Corey A'ugustine: https://youtu.be/1xQTlp0hscs
