Sessions I and Session II – Spanish Language and Culture

Tell Your Story in Spanish    Instructor: Adriana Castillo

Our little storybooks cover tales from Spanish-speaking countries. Using easy vocabulary to tell our stories, we discover the world of native characters by learning about their countries and traditions.

Besides writing short stories (Spanish/English), we learn about the country’s traditional music, food, art, and of course why the character is so special.

1. Puerto Rico ~ “Juan Bobo y el coqui”
2. Cuba ~ “El Gallo De Bodas” Cuban story about rooster
3. Mexico ~ Teresa y Pablo have a FIESTA!
4. Spain ~ Don Quijote likes “churros y chocolate”
5. Ecuador ~ “ Pepita la LLama”

Señora Castillo is a native of Colombia. Her family migrated to U.S.A. in the late 1970s, and she has lived in the area ever since. Teaching is Sra. Castillo’s passion and calling in life. An educator for the past 21 years, she loves to teach children about culture, traditions, and people from her culture and other Hispanic heritages.

Sessions III and V – CELC teams with Mathnasium of Guilford to include:

The Arithmetic of Architecture! (Session III)

Have you ever seen an architectural blueprint and wondered how to read it? In this program you learn about scale factors, reading blueprints, and eventually how to create your own! The course culminates in a design-your-own-structure showcase where students make their own blueprints to scale. Students also work with Mathnasium Workout Book materials to develop mental math, quantitative analysis, and proportional thinking. 

Debunking Billiard Math! (Session V)

Calling all pool sharks! In this program students study the math of billiards, discussing topics like axes of symmetry, geometric shapes and angles, least common multiples, and greatest common factors. The course culminates with the opportunity to design your own pool table to scale. Students also work with Mathnasium Workout Book materials to develop arithmetic thinking, evaluate algebraic expressions, and hone the skills that might be seen on secondary school admission tests.
