Summary: A little girl loves saturdays and sunday, or domingos. She spends one day with her grandparents that are simply from America. On Sundays, she goes to her other grandparents' house. They, however, are hispanic. The little girl shows how she enjoys both her typical American family as well as her hispanic family.
How used: This story is great to show cultural diversity. Students would get to see a few words in Spanish and learn more about a child who experiences both worlds. In today's society, more and more hispanic culture is entering into our lives, so it is important to help introduce this culture to our students.
