Y después de 4 años a tu lado, llegó el momento de
despedirte. Una despedida media engañosa porque aunque no vamos a compartir tu
presencia diaria, vas a seguir estando entre todas nosotras. Y quizás más de
uno se pregunte como puede ser esto posible, y la respuesta es que sólo una
mujer como vos puede lograr algo así…<br />
Vas a seguir estando en cada decisión que tomemos dentro del aula, en cada
valor que querramos enseñar o trasmitirle a algún chico, en cada momento dónde
nos tengamos que basar en el amor por la profesión para superar algún
obstáculo, en cada situación donde tengamos que superarnos a nosotras mismas…<br />
<br />
Es invaluable el legado que dejas Patsy…<br />
No solo profesional sino también a nivel humano…no sólo transmitís
conocimientos pedagógicos sino que también
te destacas en cada gesto solidario con quien más lo necesita.<br />
Voy a extrañar tu voz en los pasillos, verte llegar impecable cada mediodía,
sentir tu perfume al entrar al staff, admirar tu organización y orden al formar
a los chicos...<br />
Siempre dando más de lo que se pide, siempre un paso adelantado de lo que se
espera, demostrando superación y crecimiento diario. <br />
<br />
Representas el más fiel reflejo de amor por la vocación. Sos un ejemplo a
seguir en todo sentido. Es imposible no llenarte de halagos y palabras lindas,
porque eso es lo que generas a tu alrededor. No es casualidad que todo el
mundo, preguntes a quien le preguntes, tengo algo bueno para comentar sobre
vos…nombrar a “PATSY”, es palabra mayor.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Es inmenso el placer de haberte cruzado en la vida, es enriquecedora
la experiencia de haber compartido el trabajo con vos, es un honor poder ser una de
las personas que te despide del colegio, porque significa que tuve la
oportunidad de conocerte, Pat.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Siempre lo dije y lo voy a seguir diciendo: me encantaría
poder volver el tiempo atrás, retroceder 15 años…y que seas vos, mi maestra de
inglés…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hasta siempre!</div>

Miss Patsy... qué difícil intentar resumir lo que significás para todas nosotras. Hoy quiero agradecerte, desde lo más profundo de mi corazón, por cada palabra de cariño, de apoyo, por cada sonrisa, por cada consejo que me diste en estos tres años. No conozco a alguien más sabio y a la vez más humilde que vos. Siempre con la palabra o el gesto justo, en el momento en que más se lo necesita. Siempre dispuesta a ayudar. Siempre con fuerza, con energía, con amor y vocación, siempre tirando para adelante. Y así como lo hiciste siempre, sé que lo vas a hacer ahora, en esta nueva etapa, en este nuevo desafío, como vos misma dijiste. Y aunque sé que es un poco egoísta de mi parte, quisiera que no te fueras nunca... Pero, como siempre, ahí está tu sabiduría una vez más, diciéndome que es el momento de que otra persona haga su historia. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
Patsy, sos mi modelo a seguir. Sos toda luz. Gracias por enseñarme tanto con tu ejemplo...</div>

Que lindos años que pasamos juntas!!! fue un gran aprendizaje compartir mis primeros años en la docencia con vos. Imposible olvidarlos. Momentos divertidos, momentos de planificación :-( (no muy divertidos para mi ja!) y momentos de estudio por la noche en el 41.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
Deseo enormemente poder estar ahí saludándote y festejando junto con todo el grupo hermoso de amigas y compañeras que cosechaste estos años pero mi trabajo hoy no me lo permite :-( De todas formas, se todo lo que te organizaron para este día y en todo se ve reflejado el gran amor que todos sienten por vos.</div>

Te deseo lo mejor en esta nueva etapa llena de disfrute y de tiempo para hacer todo lo que uno va dejando a un lado para hacer cuando lo tengamos. Disfruta a tu familia, amigos y planifica tus hermosos viajes!!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear Patsy,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Llego el momento que tanto
esperabas, el que tanto quería evitar cuando pensaba en lo mucho que disfrutamos trabajar juntas…
Pero me sorprende llegar a este 12 de Diciembre con mucha alegría y tranquila
de haber terminado este “paralelismo” y especialmente este año tan hermoso de
esta manera. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Parece que
fue ayer ese Febrero de 2011, cuando me recibiste con los brazos abiertos, con
todas tus ganas de trabajar, de ayudarme, de enseñarme pero a la vez de
aprender de mí, de hacer que nuestro proyecto académico y en valores funcione... Fueron 4 años juntas, un profesorado para mí
ya que en cada lunes de plan, cada clase compartida, cada evento que preparamos
juntas, cada proyecto nuevo no pare de recibir conocimientos y experiencia. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Sé que
esta nueva etapa en tu vida te encuentra con hermosos proyectos, agradables
momentos y familiares y amigos que te adoran, LA VAS A DISFRUTAR MUCHISIMO. No
estoy triste, solo melancólica porque un amigo “Siempre deja un poco de sí".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> TE
QUIERO PATSY!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Educating children is a daily challenge. We try to cover everything: contents, strategies, techniques. But we know that there is something that underlies all these aspects. I´m referring to good behaviour, to create a good atmosphere in the classroom where we can listen to each other in a respectful way, taking turns to speak.<br />
I´m aware that it´s not easy to accomplish these instances. Sometimes, we feel that we have achieved some, or most of them, but then, something happens and we go backwards with a bitter feeling of disappointment.<br />
In my opinion, the best way of struggling against these situations is TALKING TO OUR STUDENTS", using simple, well-chosen words that can touch their hearts and can lead to a deep, mature reflection.<br />
I´m not saying that disciplinary sanctions have to be avoided. We need them at school. But I think that going "over and over" VALUES, is a profitable investment in our students' emotional development.Miss Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023328145643939030noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618765256605271541.post-82097668284515435792014-03-13T16:39:00.002-07:002014-03-13T16:39:16.645-07:00<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>The way Assemblies
introduced changes to my” teaching style”</u></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<u><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></span></u></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some years ago, after teaching for a long
time, I felt the strong need to make a significant change in my career. I knew,
beforehand, that “starting again”, would bring many challenges. That was my
clear, specific objective! It represented an interesting move towards growing
as a teacher and as a human being.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course I was not going to leave aside my
academic background and my experience in different grades. The idea was to add,
combine and recycle new strategies and techniques to the ones I had been
applying for years.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt immensely enthusiastic about my new situation.
But planning was a big issue, it had to be done meticulously.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was not easy at the beginning. It was
completely different from the way I had planned my Spanish lessons before.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, what really called my attention was the
“concept” of the Assemblies. I could not imagine how students could get a
valuable lesson without writing for an hour and a half. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I imagined children getting bored,
misbehaving, not knowing what to do with their time. I didn´t know how to time
this stage, thinking it could mean a waste of time and energy. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Little by little, I realized that it was
definitely worth carrying out these Assemblies. More than that, I started
enjoying them!</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

a conflict to be solved, talking about a hard situation, mentioning characters

<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has been a pleasure to listen to students
retelling anecdotes that parents or relatives had told them once. It has also
been a wonderful opportunity for shy kids to “say something” because they could
feel confident, and of course, I prized them immediately with warm, rewarding
words. Mates listened to them and these contributions triggered other
interesting comments. Sometimes, breaktime was due, and many children wanted to
go on participating.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Arranging the tables and chairs in a
semicircle was also an asset. This “U format” allowed us to have eye contact,
and I could carry my chair around the classroom, so as to be able to work with
all the students.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Assemblies brought real benefits to all the
children and of course, to me. I noticed that they achieved and acquired
fluency in their speaking and it also had a direct impact in their writing too.
Sounds could be polished, functions used in the right contexts, types of words
correctly collocated, among other linguistic advantages.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Above everything I have mentioned before,
what I like most is the way children expressed and shared their own feelings
and emotions. Creating a relaxed, warm atmosphere in the classroom, also
facilitated to strengthen enormously the emotional bonds among all the people
who are involved in this cognitive, mental process called “LEARNING”. </span></span></div>

Even during the Activation Knowledge stage, kids can be asked to say whatever they know about the topic, which is WITHIN the context. Even if it´s a wrong concept, we´ll take into account. In a specific part of the lesson, this mistake will be clarified, even by mates.<br />
We strongly believe that it is very important to choose appropriate material and strategies according to age CULTURAL CONTEXT and interests.Miss Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023328145643939030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618765256605271541.post-48829316472471295922014-02-18T11:11:00.000-08:002014-02-18T11:11:27.841-08:00The world into the classroom & Tools (video 2 & 3)This year we´ll have an extraordinary opportunity to bring the world into the classroom: Brazil´s World Cup 2014. With this world event we´ll be able to investigate about: different cultures, religion, music, geography and VALUES related to sports and acceptance among ethnicities. The lady refers to real people in a real world so we´ll all be involved not only in the results of the matches but also all the other news surrounding this big event. We strongly believe that this topic would fit perfectly well in the bilingual project. Together with Pope Francis and other possible new/events, the World Cupm will definitely be a "Global Theme". Apart from this new project, after winter holidays we usually develop Stories From Around The World that involves traditional stories from different countries.<br />
As regards Video 3, we understand that we have to keep updated with technology, not only for teaching, but for our daily life. But we don´t think that electronic devices are the only way of sharing a common ground with children and teens. Sometimes, we plan lessons in which computers are needed but we don´t have the necessary ammount of netbooks for that day, or there is not internet connection or just 4 computers out of 14 could connect.<br />
This situation can lead to develop Values and Skills such as : being flexible, patient, generosity, and finding other resources to achieve the same objective as the already planned in the lesson. (offline)<br />

Technology is an excellent tool to teach, learn and communicate, but information is overwhelming, even to us! So, we strongly believe that, summarizing is a necessary strategy to get the relevant information. While communication is happening, kids will develop critical thinking, connections to their own experiences and consequently they will make all the information found their own.<br />
Although our students are definitely DIGITAL NATIVES (they have the "digital finger", they enjoy using technology and they are terrible attracted to computers) they really need guidance to use internet and technology in general FRUITFULLY and EFFECTIVELY. We mean: select the relevant data, visit safe and reliable sources.Miss Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023328145643939030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618765256605271541.post-21452072860959952242013-10-21T10:44:00.003-07:002013-10-21T10:44:40.258-07:00Do report cards really show children`s performance?<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Every
time we have to complete report cards we have the feeling that they
are messy and too long, which may lead to confusion.</span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">At
the same time they are too time consuming and we are not sure if they
really reflect children`s performance. Besides, comparing the Spanish
legal report cards to ours they are very direct as regards subjects
and values too: “convivencia” has a mark but this aspect is not
unfolded into other categories.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">Our
idea is to create a prototype of a new, balanced, useful clear and
tidier report card. Being aware that we are T B L followers, we
thought of designing a report card that represents this approach. It

criteria for the learners and they are experts at this age group.</span></span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We
are aware that there have been several attemps to modify the current
report card but we decided to invest some time to design a more
practical document. Another aspect that we would like to change is
the translation into Spanish. Just to make sure that parents get the
right meaning of each issue of the following course of action:</span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.25cm;">

also involve parents in a deeper way.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Este proyecto surge como una manera formal de dar orden
temporal a estrategias, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>experiencias<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>y anécdotas que he ido acumulando durante muchos años. Algunas de ellas
las he aprendido, adaptado y otras las fui creando sobre la marcha.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">También lo impulsó creer con total convicción, que los
Valores aportan en las aulas una dimensión diferente, ligada directamente a la
moral y la ética.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">La decisión de presentarlo junto con mi co-worker, Ana, se
basa en el hecho de compartir absolutamente estos ideales, y de recibir
excelentes aportes por parte de ella. Esto ha conducido a ponerlos en práctica
diariamente y nos hace sentir que crecemos como docentes, reafirmando que, el
trabajo colaborativo es el mejor camino para acercarnos a los logros.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

There are a wide variety of elements that intervene in the different steps of its development. Some are more crucial than others. I consider EFFORT a key instance, a necessary VALUE that enhances our performance. As a teacher, I always focus on this issue and more than that, I prize it a lot. Making efforts makes us feel well, no matter what the results are. But for sure, it´s a result in itself!Miss Patsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04023328145643939030noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618765256605271541.post-60567104467777794902012-10-10T15:19:00.003-07:002012-10-10T15:19:15.970-07:00
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
<u><span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;">Premiar
a nuestros alumnos, una mirada diferente</span></u><span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Si hay algo que caracteriza al
postmodernismo, sin duda, es la inmediatez. Hay<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>
una búsqueda de resultados de rápido alcance, de logros que llegan sin
tardanzas, súbitos. No importa mucho si están sostenidos por certezas que<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>van a permanecer en el tiempo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;">Esto trajo
de la mano, un cambio en el “criterio de éxito”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“La escuela reproduce la sociedad”,
introduciendo este elemento en nuestras aulas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;">Pero la
inmediatez conspira, se opone, se contradice con el APRENDIZAJE, que está muy
distante de ser algo fugaz.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Este PROCESO, requiere de TIEMPO. Hay
infinitas variables que intervienen en él, factores genéticos, interés en los
contenidos abordados, motivación, acceso a diferentes fuentes de información,
acompañamiento y valoración familiar, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hay un aspecto que a través de los años fui
intensificando y sosteniendo en mi práctica docente, “premiar a mis alumnos”.
Los “beneficios” que acarrean estos reconocimientos son innumerables. Desde el
refuerzo de la autoestima, el sentimiento de arraigo al grupo de pertenencia, el
“auto-permiso” para equivocarse, entendiendo el error como una oportunidad para
crecer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>La palabra precisa, en el momento justo, por
parte del docente, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>han revertido
situaciones de apatía, desinterés, inseguridades, dubitaciones y hasta de mal
comportamiento. El impacto es innegable. Más de un alumno ha
podido“descubrir”que tiene capacidades y posibilidades de ser un buen
estudiante. SIEMPRE que alguien participa, es valioso el hecho en sí, porque
está involucrado en el tema. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Me ha pasado muchas veces cambiar la
orientación del plan de clase para darle el LUGAR a algún alumno que no se
había destacado mucho hasta ese momento. Tal vez tenía información sobre algún
tema colateral, había leído, se había informado, le habían contado. La
sensación de LOGRO que tuvo ese día lo afirmó como persona y como estudiante,
algo que posiblemente no olvidará. Lo afirmo porque me pasó.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;">Las
estrategias de RECONOCIMIENTO” son muchas, tienen que ser adecuadas a la edad,
características del grupo, estilo de trabajo del docente.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lo que me motivó a escribir este artículo es
reflexionar sobre un tema que, a mi criterio es relevante. Si no acompañamos
los cambios, quedarán desfasajes en nuestras prácticas. Además pensé en la
cercanía a los “Awards” de fin de año.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;">Siempre
elegimos las mismas categorías. Tomamos en cuenta promedios y un Standard de
rendimiento que es el más alto.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>¿Reflejamos así el “éxito” en el desempeño
del año? Sé que tenemos el “Super effort”. Generalmente se lo presenta como “el
alumno, que, realizó un gran esfuerzo, aunque no alcanzó notas tan altas” (
algo así).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aunque difiero con la presentación creo que
es con el que más coincido, ya que apunta a una actitud mantenida durante todo
el ciclo escolar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="ES-AR" style="mso-ansi-language: ES-AR;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pensé que otras categorías o criterios,
pueden mostrar, reflejar mejor el “TIPO DE ESTUDIANTE” al que apuntamos en
nuestra práctica diaria y con las que me identifico más.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
