Field Trip to a Musical

Profe Finaldi took her classes to see the play,  In The Heights. 
Everyone loved the music and the story. 

 

                                      

 

 

 In The Heights

Making it in New York City is tough. Few get the chance to live out their dreams, and the cast and crew of In the Heights know this all too well.  The musical is set outside a bodega in the Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights is a highly risky proposition. It took eight years in all, but they succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, winning four Tony Awards along the way, including Best Musical and Best Score for a Musical.

Piñata Workshop

 Spanish club hosted a Piñata Making Workshop.  Anyone could attend these three after-school sessions for a fee of $5, which went towards supplies. 

Students could enter their finished pieces in the contest.  The winning piñata will be saved and the rest will be used in our Cinco de Mayo festivities.



Many students chose to team up and work together, while others preferred working alone.  New art teacher, Mrs. Popow, was nice enough to let us use her room for this activity.

Starting off Class

This year, Profe Finaldi devised a plan to have students begin each class period by introducing themselves, telling the day and date, telling what prayer we would be reciting, and leading the prayer. 
Each student was given a schedule so he could prepare for his day.

Chips 'n Salsa Meetings

Spanish Club meets every other Thursday after school in Profe Finaldi's room 227.

Once per month, the meetings are Chips 'n Salsa.  Students and Profe bring in chips and other treats to go along with them.

 Our first big event this year is our Piñata Workshop and contest.  At this meeting, we made signs about the workshop.
