HERE'S HOW THE TEACHERS IN JP ARE USING THE LIBRITOS WITH ALL OF THE CURRICULUM!  LOVE IT!

Here's how Marcela, teacher in JP is having fun this summer with the CUBA week...
No tome fotos ni video, pero pusimos un pasillo de papel para hacer una "playa" y al final una charola con agua y hielos debajo de la bandera principal de Cuba que esta en el pasillo. Fuimos a la playa en la manana a ver si el agua estaba fria. Y si, porque tenia hielos. Y en la tarde fuimos a la playa otra vez y los hielos se habian derretido con el sol.
Con las palabras del vocabulario, hicimos una historia:
Mis chancletas.
Ya me voy a la playa. A la playa, no voy con zapatos! Voy con chancletas porque hace calor. Hey! Donde estan mis chancletas? Se las lleva el oceano! No, No! Yo quiero mis chancletas Alla van, mis chancletas, lejos, lejos, a la Isla de Cuba. Adios chancletas! Fin
Ja, ja, ja! Ojala que te guste. La telenovela de las chancletas.


Parece que el campamento les esta yendo super bien!!!  Estoy muy impresionada con lo que he visto! QUE GOZEN! 

GRACIAS!
