Hola todos,
The school year is coming to a close and we are down to the last few hours. It has been a great year and I will especially miss my 5th graders who are moving on to middle school. Watching them grow in their understanding and use of Spanish has been wonderful. Please encourage them to continue language study as they move on through middle school and beyond. And as I told them today, it doesn't matter which language. It's good for their brains, it's good for them, and it's good for the world. (More on this later.)
Coming up this weekend is the Peruvian Cultural Center picnic. The Peruvian Cultural Center is relatively new and centered in Oak Park. Its goal is "Educating our community to understand Peruvian culture and heritage." If you saw the dancers at the Ethnic Fest and felt their energy, you might enjoy checking out the picnic. It's Sunday, June 7, from 11 am to 7 pm at Schiller Woods Area #12, Schiller Park, IL (Irving Park Road and Cumberland.) There will be Peruvian food, dances, games, music and more. Check out the Peruvian Cultural Center website for more info: http://www.peruvianculturalcenter.org
Once school is out and there's a bit more time, I will be back on-line with an update on the year, suggestions for further enrichment, and events around town.
sin más por el momento,
Sra. D.
