Aupairs in our cluster may be interested in watching this year’s Superbowl (American football) championship playoff between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49″ers to be played and televised this Sunday, Feb. 3. Of particular interest is the half-time show, always a spectacular, as well as the TV commercials developed just for the very large audience that watches.

Aupairs and their families may be invited to Superbowl parties by neighbors and friends. Enjoy this very American winter experience!

Here are some kids’  activities to celebrate the life of this American

Martin Luther King Jr. Day- This American was an important leader of the Civil Rights movement in the US during the 1950’s and 1960’s. This holiday was created to remind Americans of the fight for equal rights and the need for change through nonviolence. This year it coincides with Inauguration Day on Monday, January 21.

President Barack Obama will be inaugurated for his second 4 year term this coming Monday. The best way to see the swearing in, parade and other festivities is by watching it on TV in your host family’s living room.

Aupairs from our cluster were a cold but happy group as we toured The White House on Jan. 5.
