On Three Kings Day, children put their shoes under the Christmas tree and wait for the Three Kings to bring them presents. Families gather to enjoy a meal of tamales, hot chocolate, and "Rosca de Reyes" or King´s Cake. The cake has a couple of surprises hidden in it, and it is always exciting to see who will find the baby. The person who gets the baby has to give a party on February 2nd.

Martin Luther King Jr. fought for equality so that all people would have the same rights and be treated fairly. He worked to end racism by leading peaceful marches and giving powerful speeches. We celebrate him in the USA to remember his dream of a fair and just world for everyone. At school, we get together to celebrate and learn about his life, and to reflect on how we can make the world a better place for everyone.
