Muchas gracias a todos por su asistencia y contribucion para el evento del sAbado anterior en la biblioteca pUblica de Oakland. Tuvimos algunos inconvenientes con la tecnologia que afortunadamente pudimos resolver con ayuda del personal de la biblioteca.AsI, logramoas mostrar a los que asistieron el valioso trabajo realizado por los chicos con ayuda de sus maestr@s este semestre. Las familias que asistieron recibieron una copia en DVD del cortometraje, ademAs de una evaluaciOn individualizada del progreso de cada chico y una evaluaciOn general del taller que les rogamos diligenciar y enviar tan pronto como les sea posible (las familias que no pudieron asistir estarAn recibiendo estos materiales por correo). Para mayor facilidad de los que prefieren enviar la evaluaciOn del taller de manera electrOnica, la hemos enviado tambiEn de manera adjunta en un correo electrOnico. Favor diligenciarla y enviarla a machugar@andrew.cmu.edu.

Estaremos presentando nuevamente el cortometraje el evento "Al servicio de la comunidad" el 31 de mayo y en la biblioteca pUblica de Beechview el 6 de junio a las 11am. Como siempre, nos encantaría que pudieran acompañarnos con sus hijos, amigos y conocidos para que otros puedan conocer a los directores, actores y creadores de esta obra.

Gracias a todos por su apoyo al bilinguismo y la creatividad de est@s niN@s.

Many thanks to all who attended and joined us at the event last Saturday at the Oakland Public Library. Despite some technical difficulties, we were able to show the audience the great work accomplished this term by your sons and daughters with the guidance of their teachers. Those who attended received a copy of the DVD, an individual evaluation of progress for their kid(s), and a general evaluation form for the workshop, which we ask you to please fill out and submit as soon as possible (materials are being sent via snail mail to those who were not able to be there). We have also attached the workshop evaluation to an email for those who would rather send it electronically to machugar@andrew.cmu.edu.

We will be screening the film once again at the "Al servicio de la comunidad" event on May 31st and at the Beechview public library on June 6th, 11am. As always, we would love to have you attend these venues with your kids, friends, and acquaintances so that others may have the chance to meet the creators, directors, and actors/actresses of the film.


Thank you all for your support of the bilingual skills and creativity of these amazing kids.

El lobo, el elefante y el rey

Durante la última sesión del taller de primavera, los chicos mostraron a sus padres y familiares la primera versiOn editada del cortometraje que han realizado: "El lobo, el elefante y el rey". Gracias a todos los que pudieron asistir para acompañarnos en felicitar a los chicos por el gran trabajo que completaron y a sus maestr@s y asistentes por el apoyo brindado.
Una versión editada del corto con banda sonora y subtítulos se ha estado y se estará presentando en diferentes lugares de la ciudad durante las próximas semanas. Estuvimos en el Latino Arts Festival el 2 de mayo y estaremos en la biblioteca pública de Oakland este próximo 16 de mayo a las 11:30. Más información sobre las próximas presentaciones en la imagen. Nos encantaría que pudieran acompañarnos con sus hijos, amigos y conocidos para que otros de los asistentes puedan conocer a los directores, actores y creadores de esta obra.

Thanks to all who attended and joined us in congratulating the kids for their wonderful work, as well as thanking their teachers and assistants.
A new edited version of the film, featuring music and English subtitles, has been and will continue being screened in the next weeks. We were present at the Latino Arts Festival on May 2 and will be screening the film at the Oakland Public Library at 11:30 am on May 16. More information on upcoming events is found in the poster. We'd love to have you attend these venues with your kids, friends, and acquaintances so that others may have the chance to meet the true creators, directors, and actors/actresses of the film.
