Hi again !!

We saw and review, and we realized that between what we though about the Character Strengths the teacher has and what he told us, there is a connection.

We said that the teacher has grit as part of his Character Strengths, and when we interview him, he said that he thought grit was part of his C.S.

Even that, we think that although he didn´t say that zest was part of his C.S. he has that.

Mr. Luis is a good teacher that is always perseverant and doing something good for others or for him.

We think that the week´s task was funny because we learn new things about this teacher and because it´s was enterteining to interview him.

Happy Teacher´s day!!!

See you later :)

Character Strengths

Hey there!

We asked the teacher to tell us about the Character Strengths he thinks he has, and here is what he said with a little story:

Grit: Because when he was in university he had a lot of troubles, because of the principal didn´t want him there, so Mr. Luis gave his best and he was perseverant. At the end, he succeed.

Justice: Because he always does what is the best, even if it is not convinect for him.

See you later :)

Character Strengths

Hi !

The Character Strengths we think Mr. Luis has are:

Grit:Remember that is the same as perseverance. This is because he does something until he achieve it.

Zest: He is enthusiastic. A story about this, is when we were in his classes, he was always enthusiastic, trying to make the class funny or teaching us with activities.

Interview a teacher!

Hey there!

This week we are going to interview the English teacher, Mr. Luis.
Here are a few things for you to know him better:

• His likes are hanging out with friends, listening to music, reading, etc.

• His dislikes are soccer, smoke and avocado.

• His hobbies are the same as in likes.

• His favorite things to do the same as in likes and also his job.

Hi !

This time, we want to share with you a movie, that is based in a real life case.

The name of this movie is The Pursuit of Happiness.

This movie is about grit.

Grit is the same as perseverance.

Is to keep doing something until you achieve it.

To have a goal.

Here is a quick summary: 

Chris Gardner is a struggling salesman trying to sell bone density machines - nice-to-have luxury items that don't sell easily. Things don't look up for Chris. His wife leaves him and their son to take a job in New York, he gets kicked out of his apartment and ends up sleeping in subway bathrooms and homeless shelters with his 5-year-old son. At the same time, he is struggling to make ends meet working as an intern at a brokerage firm where only 1 of the 20 intern candidates will land a job. Chris works all day, races to pick up his son from school and to the shelter hoping to get a spot for the night, then studies all night to prepare for his exam.

So, what are you waiting to watch this amazing movie?

This is Chris Gardner, the man of the story.

The task of this week was interesting, because we needed to look for a movie, a song, and a book, and we learn new things and understand others...

See you later !

Hi again :)

Here we come again, but this time, we want you to know about a book, which name is Wonder. 

The protagonist, August "Auggie" Pullman, begins by explaining that he knows he is not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. He was born with a facial deformity; consequently, other people always stare at him and make faces.

The book is about Self-Control.

It is the ability to subdue our impulses in order to achieve longer-term goals.

Why is this book about that?

Because people are always afraid of August, he stays calm, without getting mad or replying.

Here is a video about the book:

See you next time :)

Hi :)

While you are reading this post, listen and enjoy the next song:



We believe this is the perfect song to express optimism.
Do you know what optimism is?
If you don´t, it doesn´t matter, here we will explain it to you.

In simple words, is positively thinking.
Optimists have a tendency to make lemonade out of lemons, and to then see the glass as half-full rather than half-empty.

Which one are you?

And remember, be OPTIMISTIC!
