MARK TWAIN'S BIRTHDAY

On Nov. 30, 1835, the small town of Florida, Mo. witnessed the birth of its most famous son. Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known as Mark Twain - America's most famous literary icon.

He was a printer and etitorial assintant. It was here that Samuel found he enjoyed writing.
He became a river pilot in 1858. The Mississippi is in a lot of his books and his pseudonym, Mark Twain, comes from his days as a river pilot.
Twain began to gain fame when his story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavaras County" appeared in the New York Saturday Press on November 18, 1865. Twain's first book, "The Innocents Abroad," was published in 1869, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" in 1876, and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" in 1885. He wrote 28 books and numerous short stories, letters and sketches.
Mark Twain passed away on April 21, 1910, but has a following still today. His childhood home is open to the public as a museum in Hannibal, and Calavaras County in California holds the Calavaras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee every third weekend in May. Walking tours are given in New York City of places Twain visited near his birthday every year.

Halloween ended but we'll have fun memories of that fabulous festival. We spent a fantastic Friday playing amusing games as: bobbing for apples, pumpkin passing game, bat game, etc. And all the students of the school knocked on the door of our English classroom demanding a treat (truck or treat). We had decorated the classroom with ghosts, bats, pumpkins...It was fantastic! Do you want to remember all those moments? Here you are some photos, enjoy them!
