Hip-Hop Poetry Sessions

Fernando de los Rios Cultural Center

These are the pictures from the day. The children had a good time singing and listening to famous works of poetry of Espronceda and Góngora in rap and reggae songs.

I think it was important for them to see that poetry can come in many different forms.

It was a great experience!

Micropolix Fall 2011

Congratulations to Claudia Pondo!

She received an award for winning in the Europe Day Drawing Competition. The award included free entrances to Micropolix to share with her peers. Needless to say, the children were very happy to be able to go!

Here are some pictures from the day we spent there. Enjoy them!

Celorio's Letters

About two weeks ago, I asked the children to write letters to the teachers in Celorio. Some of the letters were very creative and fun to read. I mailed the letters and the teachers emailed back thanking the children for the marvelous letters with the following photograph:

Apparently, lovely Aiofe received many letters and Joe was not very happy. :0 Just kidding!

The teachers had a great time reading them and decided to do the same for the children. This past week we received all the wonderful letters from them.

Love,

Bea
