Lux Mundi Students at Overlake School - SEATTLE- DAY 1 and 2

LuxMundi,Mr.Garcia&Magali en OVERLAKE High School

HEllo my students from Lux Mundi!
I'm writing to you from Overlake High School in Seattle! I'm in the computer lab of the school. Your friends(Ines M, Laura P, Pepo D, Alvaro M, Alba G, Marta N, Cristina C, and Sandra V), are with their American students visiting classes. They are all very happy!

We arrived yesterday night, after 23 hours!! We took 3 planes to get to Seattle. In Customs (Aduana) your friends had to talk in English with a police officer and they did very well. They were extremely happy to see that they could speak English with a policeman. After a very long trip, the American families were waiting for them and went to their new homes!!

Pepo, commented this morning - Mr Garcia, my bed was huge!!!! and their car was enormous too!!-

It has been a long journey to get to Seattle ,but fabulous!

Let's see if tomorrow I can paste (pegar) some pictures!

Bye Bye!

Mr.Garcia

Esperamos que os guste! Quiero agradecer personalmente a tod@s aquellas personas del colegio y padres que nos han ayudado en la elaboración del mismo. Ya sea tanto por las fotos, comentarios, redacciones o como Nicolás Espigares me dijo una vez en clase de informática : -Profe, mira como he tuneado esta foto-

Durante los recreos me pondré delante de secretaría para que podáis adquirirlos. También el jueves 18 y viernes 19 por la tarde estaré en las clausuras de infantil y primaria.

Video: Aventura en Museo BURKE (Seattle)

En el siguiente VIDEO veréis a Edu, como después de la visita al Museo Burke, se lanza ante
el desafío de comerse unos CRICKETS (grillos) o WORMS(lombrices). La idea original fue de Fran García que nos desafió a todos a comernos las lombrices, pero cuando la profesora Laura vió lo que compraba desafió a todos a un nuevo reto: CRICKETS!!!
En las fotos del anuario podréis ver algunas fotos, pero muchas veces una imagen vale más que mil palabras...

Con cariño para los participantes de la aventura en SEATTLE...
Mr.García
