Squirrels with a problem :)

Hi everyone!
Rosie showed me this video and I really wanted to share it with you. It was recorded in her University in America. It is similiar to the theme of peace and non-violence, that is, being a good person and helping a friend in need ;)
I love it, I hope you enjoy it!

Peace and Non-Violence

America has celebrated Martin Luther King Day since 1983 on the third Monday in January. Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. was an important person in the American Civil Rights movement, who believed in non-violence. He campaigned against segregation and inequality and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. In 1963 he gave his most famous speech, which contains the well-known phrase I have a dream.

You can watch this important speech here:

On January 30 we always celebrate the School Day of Peace and Non-Violence. This year you will write an easy I Am Poem in English following these instructions. Just bear in mind that the topic must be PEACE and NON-VIOLENCE.


Enjoy the task!

Merry Christmas for my Dear Students!

I wish you a very merry Christmas and I hope all your dreams will come true in 2011.
Big hugs,
