We would like to thank Soledad Roman (4th grade student) for sharing her fantastic e-portfolio with us. Teachers from Artigas and Bella Union will be able to have a look at it at our next Sala (May 6). See you there!

Visit to María Jesús de Cuadro's class

    Today I had the opportunity of meeting a very nice group of students (1º 9 - liceo # 2, Artigas) and their young and hard-working teacher.  They made me feel so welcome that we are meeting again on Monday afternoon.

     I would like to thank both María Jesús and her students for this incredible experience. It felt great.

Working with the xo laptops at liceo #4 (Teacher: Patricia Dos Santos- Group:2ª5)

(NOTE: Students  have previously gone through a process that allowed them to gain confidence and a certain degree of autonomy on writing about people's ruotines. They were engaged in the activity and very happy to be able to connect to the internet in order to find information on people they admire.)

      Thanks, Patricia, for sharing this activity with us!
