Bienvenidos!!

Welcome to our blog as we share about our special journey, sponsored by the wonderful folks at Fulbright. We will be visiting Mexico from June 9th to July 7th, 2012. Our group includes 7 practicing teachers, 7 undergraduates (soon-to-be teachers), and two teacher education faculty. Along with my brave bilingual scholar, Maria Zamudio, we will lead the group as we spend 4 weeks in south-central Mexico. We will be learning about the Mexican educational system along with important social, political, and historical issues in Mexico.

The majority of our time will be spent in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. All of the participants will be living with host families and taking Spanish language classes at CETLALIC, a spectacular language school in Cuernavaca. We will also be taking trips to the following cities: Taxco, Tepoztlan, Puebla, and Mexico City.

Visit our blog to stay up-to-date on our adventures and lessons learned! Enjoy!

Learning Grammar and History

This morning, we studied Spanish grammar. We practiced in our small groups to improve our fluency. In the afternoon, Spanish teacher Francisco gave us a brief but detailed lecture on the history of Mexico. The lecture covered the war of Mexican Independence starting 1810 to the current election. Francisco explained the several revisions of the Constitution, as well as, key events and players. Students were enthralled with his vast knowledge of Mexico's history. Our evening was filled with conversations with host families.
