Calabaza Day 2024!

Visit our Facebook page to take a look at some photos from Calabaza Day in Yulissa Gomez and Michelle Vaquero’s pre-K classes in the Dual Language Program here at Albany International Academy!

The annual tradition celebrates the seasonal fun of calabazas – pumpkins – along with feelings, family and science! 

Students are joined by family members to carve the pumpkins with faces expressing a wide variety of feelings. Before carving, students and their families also have a chance to practice their investigative skills, measuring the height and circumference of the pumpkins.
