Alumni Afterschool Tuesdays
The afterschool program is offered to graduating students who want
to continue their language immersion in a familiar non-threatening atmosphere. We want them to be able to maintain what
it is they gained so rapidly in their early years.
We continue teaching with a constructivist philosophy. The
older that they get, the more structured a child's schedule and schooling becomes. We know that children constructing
their own learning will learn more deeply. There is flexibility in the planning of our program and each child's interests
and strengths are considered.
We want our returning students to feel like they are coming 'home' to a familiar place
where they have the power to further their knowledge of the Spanish language in the familiar atmosphere of dailing living.
We
offer four different workshops during the course of the school year. During which you can expect your child to
write, read, play games and create art while using their Spanish vocabulary. They meet on Tuesdays from 3:30 - 5:30
pm at Escuelita.

Drink Coffee? Try certified organic fair trade Nicaraguan coffee and help our alumni students raise money for their
upcoming trip to Nicaragua (Summer 2010). We are working with Building New Hope's Coffee Project to support their coffee farmers in Central America. The coffee is certified organically grown by the OCIA (Organic
Crop Improvement Association). It is also environmentally sustainable as the plants grow under a canopy of wooded trees, reducing
soil erosion and maintaining the biologically diverse habitat for plants, migratory birds and other wildlife. The coffee is
hand picked, washed, patio sun-dried, and then carefully selected for market.
1 lb bags of both regular and decaf, whole bean or ground coffee are available either at LEA or you may purchase
on-line below (paypal). Sorry, pick-up only.

group of Alumni students travel to Nicaragua next summer and volunteer with local community projects. |
