Surprise!

Latino Language, Pedagogy and Culture Immersion Institute in Puerto Rico

We had two big surprises during Spanish class this morning. The first was that we each received color copies of the official proclamation by the mayor that named us distinguished guests of Mayaguez. The other was that the media team from the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (where we are studying) came to our class to film us. When they were done filming, the reporter asked me to come out to the hallway so she could interview me. We did the whole thing in Spanish and they filmed it, too. I was so nervous! She asked me about what we were doing in the program and how it will help me with my Puerto Rican students in Pennsylvania, and then she asked me about the blog. She also interviewed Andrew and Jackie. Hooray, we're famous! :-)
