Here we are at Liceo 18--Gabriela, Flavia, me, Maria Julia, Fabiana, and Estela.

I shared with them some of the topics from the symposium I attended on Saturday. Among the things we talked about:

Laura Flores' ideas about subjectivity, using stories and visual arts to "open up the exchange of experiences, values and emotions that are at the centre of our educational duties"
Maria Noel Taranto's great singing voice, and all of our talents, which imply "a responsibility for us that goes far beyond the safety of the syllabus"
The field trips students can go on, since they're so close to the Blanes museum and the park
The plays they have at a British cultural center, where everyone is a native speaker
The plays they used to have at the house which is now the Museum of Memory, how scary they were
How bad lion bones smell after awhile
How hard it is to take pictures with newfangled phones
How I am more like a cheerleader than a teacher

Rah-rah-rah!
