OVERLUX intercambio BLOG

Hola a tod@s! (sorry x los acentos pero este teclado no tiene )
Este año la relacion entre los alumnos del Colegio Lux Mundi y The Overlake School va a sobrepasar una nueva frontera: la virtual. Juntos se ha creado un nuevo - concepto - palabra - word - llamado "OVERLUX".

http://overluxintercambio.blogspot.com/

Es la union entre el nombre del colegio americano "Overlake" y el colegio español "Lux Mundi". Hemos creado un blog para que los alumnos de ambos colegios puedan contar a sus familias, amigos, compañeros sus aventuras, experiencias tanto en un pais como en otro. Es un Blog que van a crear ellos con la ayuda de los profesores Alvaro, Micah, Kelli y Magali. Como estudiante encargado del proyecto: Jose Delgado Delgado (alumno de informatica).
Esperamos que os guste!

INES MARTINEZ DIARY - THURSDAY 24th March-

It is ten o’clock and I am sitting in front the computer to talk about this Thursday, our third day here! It is amazing, I love the United States! Everything is so big and different here!

Today we went to a food bank to help the poor people who need some food! At first it was a little boring, because we had to make a lot of bags of beans, I think we closed at least five thousands bags! But at the end, when we realized that five thousand families are going to eat this evening we were very happy about that!

After, I went to a mall with Laura and we were there for two hours buying things and talking to each other! And finally we went to the cinema to see Alice in Wonderland! I thought at first I would not understand anything but I understood the film very well! I am so pleased! I am very tired now, but I don’t know why, because it is only twenty past ten! I think we have done a lot of things today so I am going to the bed soon

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!
