¡¡¡Feliz Navidad!!!

The Christmas season is a great time for our Esperanza family to learn new vocabulary, new traditions, new foods, new songs, etc. from a variety of cultures. 

"The Lion King"

Last night I watched "The Lion King" for the first time.  I put off seeing it because I didn't have any young children with whom to share it.  It is a reminder that I need to respond to the child within me more often and enjoy movies and books (and songs!) written for children. 

Also, I loved the message of the story.  Each of our Esperanza scholars is a "king" or "queen" and we need to treat them as such and help them see it in themselves.
