Another Successful Summer School at Nido
Nido de Aguilas Summer School 2010 took place from January 4 to January 29. The first session started on January 4 and ended on January 15. The second session was held from January 18 to 29. Our schedule ran from Monday to Friday - 9:00am to 1:00pm daily. Two hundred seventy one students, including Nido students as well as children from other schools participated in the program.
Our summer school program provided an invigorating four weeks of learning intended to enrich and strengthen children’s learning abilities and skills. Expert faculty who enjoy working with children prepared a wide range of academic and recreational courses for students in early childhood, elementary and middle school. These included a large list of options from reading and writing to cooking and horseback riding, as well as other classes. All summer school courses, with the exception of swimming lessons, were held on our spacious, green campus. Students worked in small groups and learning was interactive. The summer school program also welcomed a handful of Nido students and alumni who worked as teacher assistants. They provided a good model of English for the children and contributed to creating a fun and stimulating atmosphere full of energy and enthusiasm. We feel proud of our Nido students and alumni for the outstanding contribution to the program!
One of the goals of our program was to create a new community of learners. Several activities were designed to accomplish this purpose. All of the ECC students had a swimming field trip on the second Thursday of each session. Field Day was another highlight of the program where all the children were divided into small groups and participated in friendly competitions. Field Day culminated with a hotdog feed. On the last Friday of each session students had the opportunity to perform for parents and students and display their photos and work. Each closing assembly finished with a family lunch.
We are looking forward to next year’s program. We hope that you will keep us in mind when January 2011 comes around.
Looking forward to seeing you then,

Escuela de Verano 2010
La Escuela de Verano 2010 se desarrolló desde el 4 al 29 de enero en dos sesiones; enero 4-15 y enero 18-29 en un horario de 9:00 a 13:00hrs. Doscientos setenta y un estudiantes participaron en esta oportunidad, incluyendo alumnos de nuestro colegio y de otros establecimientos.
Nuestro programa de verano proporcionó cuatro semanas de vigorizante aprendizaje cuyo objetivo fue el de enriquecer y reforzar habilidades y destrezas para alumnos pre-escolares y de educación básica y media. Los niños interactuaron en grupos pequeños y la modalidad de trabajo estuvo basada en la experiencia personal. La malla curricular incluyó una amplia variedad de talleres académicos y recreacionales. Los cursos se impartieron por profesores expertos en las diferentes materias. La Escuela de Verano dio la bienvenida a un grupo de alumnos y ex-alummnos de Nido los cuales participaron como profesores asis tentes. Nos sentimos muy orgullosos de nuestros alumnos y graduados por su fantástica contribución durante la Escuela de Verano 2010.
Uno de los objetivos del programa de la Escuela de Verano que nuestro colegio imparte es crear una comunidad afiatada de jóvenes. Para lograr este propósito se realizaron diferentes actvidades comunitarias. Los alumnos del área pre-escolar disfrutaron de un paseo con piscina. Además, en el primer viernes de cada sesión los alumnos efectuaron actividades al aire libre donde se formaron grupos pequeños los cuales participaron en competencias amistosas. Estas actividades culminaron con un almuerzo. El último viernes de cada sesión terminó con un show y una exhibición de fotos y trabajos realizados por los niños, finalizando con un almuerzo comunitario.
Nuestro deseo es volver a repetir esta exitosa experiencia el próximo verano 2011. Esperamos verlos en esa fecha.
