Queridas Familias,

          To follow up on Krishna's generous treat of Chilean empanadas last week, the kids cooked up a couple of flavors of the Argentine version. For this project, I was lucky enough to have along the very person that taught me to make them. None other than mi Mamá or Abuela (Grandma), as she was introduced to the class. We were also lucky to be joined by the Los Chicos 2 Intermediate group, as well as to receive permission to use the ovens in the lunch room in order to bake the empanadas.

           Though challenging to some, every student was able to make at least one of the tasty treats containing either a corn or beef filling. Most left the classroom with a bag of five to share with their families. Overall the project was successful, fun and, of course, flavorful. Empanadas were delivered to the school office as well as to Ms. Courneen; the teacher hosting our class.

          Our day ended with another quick look at Ojos de Dios projects; some of which were taken home for further progress.

          This week we also had the pleasure of meeting Noah Lorenz, a transfer student from the Chiquitos group who came to get a feel for Los Chicos. Noah settled quickly into the group and participated fully.

Hasta el próximo miércoles,

Señor Lobo
