Newsletter: The Gift of Helping Others 🎁

The Gift of Helping Others

As Christmas gets closer, we invite you to slow down, look around and choose kindness on purpose. This issue is all about solidarity and the small actions that make a family, a community and a season feel brighter.

You will find great Spanish activities that help you practice the language while exploring what it means to care for one another in Spanish.

Let’s learn, reflect and spread a little good together.

¿No crees que es una buena idea? 😍

Spanish Grammar Tip

Solidaridad: focus grammar

solidarity picture

Silvia came up with a nice paragraph about what solidaridad should be about. Have a read and get into her shared notebook that includes all the interesting grammar in this paragraph.

En un mundo que parece ir demasiado rápido, la solidaridad nos invita a parar y a mirar a los demás. Es tender la mano, compartir lo que tenemos y construir puentes en lugar de muros. Cada acto solidario, por muy pequeño que sea, nos recuerda que no estamos solos porque, cuando apoyamos a otros, también nos fortalecemos como comunidad.
