Teachers shared their experiences with XOs.

These are the salas for the month of April.

All salas are of two hours.

Last week I was invited to witness teacher Andrea Fernandez and her 1BD "5" speaking activity at liceo #1 (Artigas) .

Andrea did a great job; she monitored and gave students some hints without "intruding" on what the they were doing, so as to avoid breaking the "natural flow". Thanks, Andrea! It was a memorable experience.

Would you like to join us? Please, come to Liceo # 4- We meet on Saturday mornings, generally at 8:30 A.M.

At present we are working on e-portfolios, and preparing our next Sala. Don’t hesitate to come!

See attached flyer for agenda.

* Note: It will be held on July 7th, starting at 1:30pm
