Wed. Jan. 25
Today we spent a whole day at Teresa's old school, St. Peter's in Barcelona. The morning began with a presentation by Alex Armanino addressing the students who will be applying to colleges next year. There is considerable interest in the possibility of attending American Universities. Susie and Sarah taught a two-hour cooperative lesson to the 7th graders based on "I am Poems" and self portraits. The Spanish students were attentive and responsive to a style of teaching that is unfamiliar to them. The results of their efforts were surprisingly positive and we hope to be able to post them to the Parker website upon completion.
The day included an extensive tour of the picturesque St. Peter's campus beginning with the babies in the nursery and going right through high school. Contrary to what we are accustomed to, ALL were in uniforms! Again, we were treated with extreme warmth and hospitality.We had multiple meetings with various administrators and teachers, all of whom expressed interest in learning more about, if not actually visiting, Parker.
