Mrs. Palmero's Los aventureros May Term Class visited the Intercultural Senior Center in Omaha on Tuesday May 16th. In the morning, students were putting potatoes in bags so the senior people could take them home later. Then they were assisting some teachers in their classrooms. After lunch, they were doing different activities with the elderly people. Some were making Father’s Day crafts to give to the fathers while others were playing ping pong with people of different cultures. Several of the kids were in classes coloring, doing arts and crafts, helping people of different backgrounds and trying to be better speaking Spanish. My students are amazing, they are doing so much for other people. I am really thankful and proud of them. Please enjoy some pictures of our daily adventure!!
