SEK Los Valles inaugura su jardín vertical
El II Día Abierto y la Feria de Ciencias se llevó a cabo el 9 de abril con la participación de los estudiantes de las distintas secciones. En esta jornada, los niños de Preescolar trabajaron con experimentos divertidos y actividades en inglés. Primaria expuso temas relacionados a las asignaturas de Science, Matemática, Mandarín, entre otras. Por su parte, los estudiantes de Secundaria realizaron presentaciones de teatro y arte, y laboratorio. Los alumnos que forman parte de las actividades extracurriculares de karate, ballet, gimnasia rítmica, natación y cheeleaders también prepararon una muestra deportiva para sus padres.
El Día Abierto fue la oportunidad propicia para inaugurar el jardín vertical, proyecto de un grupo de estudiantes de Secundaria, liderado por las profesoras Ximena Burneo, Marcelo Morrillo y Diana Bazurto. El jardín vertical representa un compromiso más del Colegio en la protección del medioambiente.
Finalmente, nuestras familias tuvieron una charla sobre la seguridad y privacidad en el uso de Internet con la finalidad de aplicar los consejos impartidos en esta Escuela de Familia en sus hogares.

COMPROMISO CON LA NATURALEZA Y LA COMUNIDAD

El programa de Participación Estudiantil les permite a los estudiantes tener un contacto directo con la naturaleza y los problemas de la comunidad. Es por ello, que los alumnos de Primero y Segundo de Bachillerato se solidarizan frente a estas circunstancias, trabajan con entusiasmo y se comprometen en la búsqueda de soluciones.
Bajo este propósito, nuestros estudiantes ayudaron a la comunidad a construir nuevos invernaderos, actividad que les ha enseñado a ser capaces de cambiar lo establecido, mejorarlo y marcar la diferencia. Estamos orgullosos de su trabajo y responsabilidad.

STUDENT EXCHANGE AT SEK BOCA RATON PREP
|

Interview with Eliana Davila, High School student who had been a student exchange at SEK Boca Raton Prep International School located in the city of Boca Raton, Florida, United States.
How was your exchange student experience?
My experience was very pleasant and at the same time very enriching for my education. I met many people from different nationalities. I could learn part of their cultures and traditions as well. Furthermore, it helped me have a multicultural and open-minded perspective.
Also, this was a great opportunity to practice my English skills in daily activities. Since this was the only way to communicate with my friends, and the language that I used in my classes.
I recommend to enroll to this Student Exchange Program because it is an amazing chance to improve English skills and to practice the language in a native environment.
What is the importance of learning a second language?
Speaking a second language, represents a huge advantage in this competitive society. In my opinion, this is a tool that will help me in the future, in order to be a citizen of the world and not just of one nation.
As an outgoing person, learning a second language helps me socialize with people from other countries. Additionally, it helps me enrich a multi-cultural outlook.
Tell us an anecdote about your trip.
The most significant anecdote that I had, was when I visited the theme parks of Universal Studios and Magic Kingdom of Disney with my friends of SEK Boca Raton high school. There I enjoyed a lot with them and we created strong bonds. I remember, the night we stayed up talking and sharing different experiences. It was so amazing! I would love to do it over again.
How do you think learning English at School has helped you in this experience?
In classes you learn a lot about tenses and sentence structures. This helped me a lot to develop conversations in Boca Raton. Actually, I realized that what is learned in class is really important and should be appreciated due to the fact that the basic rule in our English classes is to use this language every time we need to communicate with the teacher and classmates. This was identical to what I experienced at SEK Boca Raton Prep.

INFORMADOS E INSTRUIDOS, UNA NECESIDAD DEL SIGLO XXI
|
|
|
|
|
La Asamblea de abril se celebró el día 4 y estuvo a cargo del Departamento de Filología y Literatura. En esta ceremonia se resaltó el valor del mes, “Informados e Instruidos”.
Estar informados e instruidos nos permite tomar mejores decisiones y desenvolvernos de manera más asertiva en las distintas situaciones que se nos presentan en el día a día. Un elemento esencial para tener una instrucción adecuada es una buena comunicación. Por esta razón, la Asamblea dedicó un tiempo a explicar el desarrollo de la misma a través de una cronología, en la cual los niños se constituyeron en actores importantes.
Por otro lado, se aprovechó esta instancia para felicitar a los docentes de nuestra Institución por motivo del Día del Maestro. Adicionalmente, hubo una intervención musical por parte de Doña Lucy Alcocer y Don Martín Bustamante.
Es preciso recordar que parte del trabajo de los profesores, celebrado este mes, es permitir que tengamos una sociedad informada e instruida.

Art with Mr. Hoffman
Students in Mr. Hoffman's third grade art class are learning about the parts of a flower by having each student build one. Using paper towel rolls, balloons and plastic pie cover plates as armatures, our students were able to papier-mache the stem, the petals and the sepal. We used cut paper to create the leaves and stamens and a pipe cleaner to create the pistil. It took quite a few weeks to create this beautiful flower garden, but the results are amazing. The students became quite skilled in papier-mache and did a beautiful job painting, and naming, their flowers.

Movie set, optical illusions, visual effects
The 8th grade students enjoyed an awesome interactive tour at the Korda Film Studio. They learned about the Hungarian-born British film director and producer, Sir Alexander Korda. They also had the opportunity to see what goes on backstage during a film. They had fun trying several movie tricks and were also informed about the casting, make-up and post-production of well-known movies.
