¡¡¡Feliz Día de San Valentín!!!
We started the class with a brief sing along to go over the new song we learned last week. This sparked an animated philosophical discussion regarding the location of the Spirit in the body. Some students insisted the Spirit resides in the brain while others argued it is in the Heart. In the attempt to define humans, in one of the lines in the song, Violeta Parra refers to the heart:
De un Corá...De un Corazón que palpita, (Of a hea...Of a Heart which palpitates.)
Al Son de...Al Son de los Sentimientos... (To the Bea...To the Beat of the Feelings.)
We welcomed Ari back to the group, after his worldly travels. He was kind enough to share some of the stories from his trip. Among them were a visit to my old neighborhood in Buenos Aires, exciting new tasty foods he found along the way, and several local animals which he illustrated in his journal.
Next, came Valentine treats. The Valentine exchange worked out very well - I even ended up with some chocolate! Thank you. There was one student absent but, not to worry, treats will soon be in her hands. I also handed out two printed Valentine images to each student on which they wrote notes to friends or family members. Look for your Spanish Valentine...
We ended the day with a game of Scrabble (Edición en Español) which contains the extra letters - ch, ll, ñ and rr. The students enjoyed the game and were successful creating vocabulary. Unfortunately, I left the Scrabble game in the classroom. If anyone happens to go by room # 2 please hang on to the game (play at home?) or, at least, let the teacher know I will get it next week. Gracias.
Hasta el próximo Miércoles, les deseo lo mejor.
Señor Lobo
