Happy Friday! Last day of the week, we hope you are all well.
Before anything else, let us say:
We are very impressed with your work on liveworksheets, the blog and the work we are getting in our email inbox! To those of you working, keep up the good work!
(And to those who are not quite in the homeschooling game yet, get going!!!! There are things to be learned and worlds to be explored!)
And now, just a song… this explains how we feel about all of you! Though we are not right beside you, nothing can keep us from you!
Enjoy this message and we´ll connect next week!
Before the song, a special message from Manolo for you and your parents:
Si alguien me preguntase cual considero que es la canción con el mensaje educativo más importante, yo diría que al menos una de ellas con claridad es esta. Con esta canción puedes “Darle energía a tus hijos e hijas en estos momentos excepcionales que estamos viviendo”. Cuando la escuchas sabes que nadie te va a parar”. Pero es que además esta canción transmite el mensaje de apoyo incondicional que nuestros hijos e hijas necesitan recibir para sentirse seguros: «No hay montaña tan alta que pueda impedirme llegar a ti. Solo llámame, estaré ahí enseguida, no tienes que preocuparte», nos dicen Marvin Gaye y Tammi Terrell.
Es un gran placer mostrarla para vosotros y vosotras alumnado y familias de Educación Alquería.
Esta canción de Rythm and Blues y Soul fue escrita en 1966 por Nickolas Ashford y Valerie Simpson. Fue grabada por Marvin Gaye y Tammi Terrell un año después. Compuesta al principio como canción romántica sin duda puede ayudarnos a transmitir amor incondicional a nuestros hijos e hijas con frases como: «Recuerda el día que te dejé marchar/ te dije que siempre podías contar conmigo, cariño».
And in line with our suggestion on Wednesday to get your screen time in English, why not try this weeksite this weekend?
Through this website you can watch TV in English with subtitles!
Enjoy, happy weekend. Remember, take care and STAY AT HOME.

Good morning everyone! Congratulations on nearly completing your first week telecommuting or «working from home.»
Reminder: Please look at liveworksheets.com. We have renewed worksheets with a mark of 7 or lower, and we have added more worksheets, including weekly reviews! Stay motivated! Do a self test!
We are sure there have been unexpectedly wonderful parts of working from home and some complicated ones too. Since it is Friday, we wanted to leave you not with more homework, but with a link to practice a life skill that you may need more than ever in this new world order.
We figure it is easier to work on a computer if you know how to write properly. Learning to type is fun, and it makes writing on a computer faster and more accurate.
So, here is a picture that shows you how to position your hands on the «home row.» This is the line of letters in the middle of a keyboard (teclado) where you keep your hands to type. If you click on the picture, you will go to a link IN SPANISH to help you learn the basics of typing.
Lecciones y explicaciones en español. Pincha abajo:
Here is a video to help you:
After you learn the basics, we think you´ll have fun challenging yourselves with these typing GAMES. For those of you who play lots of video games, you might already have great finger control!
Juegos. Pincha aquí:
Start to play, and leave us a comment on the blog to let us know how your typing skills progress! Have fun!
Enjoy your weekend! Play, exercise and spend time with your family!
We´ll be back in touch on Monday and we look forward to reading your comments and messages!
All the best, stay well!

Hello-
In the midst of our confinement we can still celebrate a virtual holiday! Today, March 17th , in Ireland and where ever there are Irish populations, people get together to wear green, eat corn beef and cabbage and celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day! These videos explain the whys and hows of this green luck o’ the Irish celebration!
And now a traditional Irish anthem. (Aviso: coged pañuelos, que es una canción bastante melancólica.)
And now for something equally traditional, but a little happier!
And just in case you aren’t familiar with Irish Step Dancing, here is a small taste.
Enjoy this cultural moment. Happy Saint Patrick’s day and Luck o’ the Irish to you all!
Erin go bragh,
Lindley McCarthy
