Argentina Exchange Program

27 October 2009 0 Comments

This was incredible. Last year my Spanish IV conversation students connected with students in Bahía Blanca, Argentina and had some powerful video conferences where students from both countries shared with each other typical products they use and some of the practices they engage in each day. During these conferences, it was apparent that my students we looking for something even greater- a way they could actually experience the lives of Argentine students. After much planning and coordination via Skype with Alejandrina, the Argentine teacher, our proposal for an full student exchange program between Rosario Vera Peñalosa in Bahia Blanca, Argentina and Hunterdon Central in Central New Jersey was approved by our district’s Board of Education! The first part of our exchange program begins in February of 2010 when 10 Argentine students will be staying with students selected. We will be traveling to Bahia Blanca this coming June of 2010!
