Estimadas Familias,

Ojos de Dios again took center stage today. Several students brought back their projects from home to finish them, and others insisted on beginning new ones. some of their amazing creations were delivered as gifts to the principal, our host teacher, Ms. Corneen and, of course, to families at home and to serve magical purposes. I was impressed not only by the great variation of color combination of their pieces, but also by the experimentation with forms and patterns.

            Though difficult to do, I eventually rudely interrupted their creative passion to introduce them to Mafalda; a classic comic strip character highly regarded in Argentina with several published titles to her name. Mafalda is a young and very wise young girl who, with the aid of her band of friends - all about the age of Los Chicos - tackle trials and tribulations ranging from Mamá's soup (Mafalda hates it),  to national and international affairs of state. Each of the students was assigned a character and asked to read their respective part from the comic.

             The class literally ended on a delicious note, thanks to Rafaela and Martín's mom, Krishna, who delivered hot cheese empanadas for the class to share. If everything goes as planned, the students will be making their own empanadas in class next week. We'll get to bake them in the school's lunch room oven. Feel free to join us if you wish.

Ah, sí. ¡Sus hijos son maravillosos! (Oh, yeah. Your children are marvelous!)

Saludos y hasta el próximo Miércoles, 

Señor Lobo
