As some of you know, I am a HUGE Dr. Seuss fan. Any how, here are some links to the Lorax movie trailers in three different kinds of Spanish. If you have the book, I highly recommend reading it this month. It is about environmentalism. Yes! It is a kids book and it is all written in rhyme. It is available in Spanish, too! I have done it every year and the topics that come out of it are "sin fin"!!! Trailer with subtitles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=nHTDxOidRco Trailer: latino Spanish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4SO6BUuUUg&feature=related Trailer: latino 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpH7Un7_oYU&feature=related There is also a great castellano version. Would be great for the heritage kids to hear and make comparisons :) Dr. Seuss has so many great books translated to Spanish that bring up so many great conversation topics. One that is not in Spanish is the Butter battle book. It is about the cold war, the arms race, mutually assured destruction and war in general. It would be easy for you to translate the essence of it as you read it and showed the pictures, though!! So many good books!!! Ciao!

Lets get together, yayaya! Lets celebrate the wonderfulness of Visitation Days and move forward on talking about community. Bring a success or challenge from the week, as well as your best community building idea. I cant wait to share with you all the wonderful comments from our new friends/colleagues in OLA :) Truly a fun time and I am continuously amazed by the difference we are making in the lives of our students and the incredible response from teachers! Please encourage your students to attend also, as I would like to take a few minutes to do an activity about community with our students. I have included a feedback form for the observed teachers. Fill out and bring with you, or I will have copies for you at the meeting. It would be great to get your responses on what worked and how to improve it for next year. (Btw, there have already been requests, from several schools & teachers, to do another Visitation Days in April) abraaaazos!!! -d :) ps-we will have several new people skyping in, so please bring as many computers as possible so that we can hook everybody up!! gracias!
