La información que sigue se presenta en inglés porque la mayoría de los eventos descritos aquí se realizan en esa lengua. Los que tienen el pequeño gráfico del lápiz () al lado se describen en español en la sección de excursiones en esta misma página web, porque son excursiones o viajes directamente relacionados con los alumnos míos y se realizan en ambos español e inglés.

The following information is in English because the majority of the events described happen in that language. Those with the small pencil graphic () next to them are described in Spanish in the Field Trips section of this same webpage, because they are field trips or traveling experiences directly related to my students and they occur in both Spanish and English.
