We Remember 9/11

Today is a day of Remembrance... 

In 1973, something happened right here in Chile... political changes were made by military force setting democracy aside for many years.

28 years later another tragedy happened in another country. A normal morning suddenly impacted by the unimaginable, caused us all to stop... 

Though many years have gone by these tremendous events have taught us many things, hopefully we are all left with an important lesson.

(Children, we encourage you to talk with your families about what happened, what is happening in our world around us right now and try to find new ways each day to share kindness and goodness.)

Please share your thoughts with us in the comment box or right here in class!

Work Shadow Experience

Hey kids, 
This WEDNESDAY you will take a day out of normal classroom learning and follow a parent or friend ¨on the job¨.

You will take this learning opportunity to connect our classroom learning and apply it to real life. 
*Meet new people!
*Get involved as much as you can! 
*Be confident, ask questions, be helpful, take notes and be ready to share on return. Think about your future!

Parents, God parents, aunties, uncles, friends, whomever will recieve our students please know this is not a ´free day´.
*This is a fantastic opportunity to provide insight as to what a certain job or profession might entail (insight for the future).
*Highlight skills that would be valuable such as teamwork, punctuality, respect, etc.
*When ok, welcome the student to take part, observe, participate.
*Meet and greet a variety to team members that are required to fulfill operations (employees with different job titles are needed to make the whole company function).

Have fun learning in the ¨REAL WORLD¨!!
