In May, we'll start learning about patience. Being patient involves strength and serenity to overcome difficulties while waiting or working for a desired goal, where the goodness achieved compensates the hard time of "waiting".
During this week, students will make posters about patience and will work on presenting short skits to illustrate this important virtue.
watch this video about the patience of a legendary rock climber, Lynn Hill.

Earth Day
We'll be celebrating Earth Day this week. Middle school students will have a assembly with special presentations and a speaker from the Asociation A Mi Tigra.
Class presidents will be invited to a special ceremony where principals will plant trees.
All teachers will engage students in activities to help them understand the importance of conservating our planet.
In order to support a vivid experience, every student will receive a young tree to take home and take care of it. If a student does not have a place where to plant the tree, he may bring it back to school and we'll surely find it a place.
Just imagine, there'll be more than 1000 trees planted in our surroundings after April 22!...

The Value of Humility
As April goes by, we´ll learn about the new value of the month: humility.
Humility is about knowing your great worth as a person, but accepting that others have the same value as you do. It is about considering yourself with satisfaction,not too low, yet not too high. It´s about accepting your mistakes with simplicity, and correcting them. More than this, humility is not bragging about what we are or have, and accepting that others can be better than us in any aspect like foot ball, science, cooking, etc.
This week, students will work in groups to represent their ideas on humility. They´ll write an essay and do posters.
Here´s a video we´ll watch in class. It´s about the last inning of a girls´ softball game where two players humbly admit the greatness of a home run hit by a player of the oponent team; they even "help her make the home run". The video is inspired on a true story.
