En abril agua mil.
Last month Pope Benedict the XVI went to Mexico and Cuba. What a great experience to share with the kids! The Pope visited two countries where Spanish is the first language. We watched him on the computer. The children had a good time trying to understand what they were saying; they speak very fast. It was also interesting for the kids to know that Pope in Spanish means Papa, because they learned that potato and dad also means papa.
The 6th graders made posters related to You're connected... know communicated, to ilustrade how technology and languages used together helps them to express their ideas.
As we started the Holy Week, I shared with the kids my tradition of Palm Sunday. Pictures of my dad making "braids" with the palms (ramos), and showing them some examples. During this Holy Week, the children are learning the prayer of the Guardian Angel in both languages. We are also learning about the Towel of Babbel, and how the Bible teaches us about the beginning of the languages.
This month we are also learning about Spring (Primavera) and some words related to this season.
FELIZ DIA DE PASCUA!
