Hola, I never considered the meaning of the term Elder until I read the book by Dr. Anita L. Sánchez "The Four Sacred Gifts: Indigenous Wisdom for Modern Times." Dr. Sánchez describes it as follows: "This is more than acknowledgment of their age; it is a term of respect for their lifetime commitment to embody, practice, and share indigenous wisdom. Through their actions, decisions, practices, and knowledge, an Elder is seen for who and what they are, are sought for their wisdom, guidance, and counsel. And, by doing so, the people, the community, give the title of Elder" (page 6). Today, I reflect on how I have started acknowledging the Elders in my life and share my thoughts on how our society views them. Abrazos, Ericka Sánchez, A. (2017).

Hola, The most challenging task during the past thirty-eight days in quarantine has been establishing healthy boundaries. What I have come to realize is that to do that, we must pay attention to what matters to us first and stop allowing our physical world to determine how we live. Abrazos, Doctora Collado Hola, It is one thing to have a video conferencing meeting with grown-ups and a very different one to teach children through a video conferencing platform. Today, I share how to use the chat tool within a lesson to provide structure and promote language learning. Hasta pronto, Doctora Collado Hola, All of us have gone through major adjustments in the way we teach, learn and live in the past couple of weeks. As I prepared for meeting my students again through online platforms, I weighed in curricular vs. individual needs. As a result, I decided to create a simple activity for the first week of online learning, that it is meant as a check-in and vocabulary building task while fostering emotional intelligence. Watch the video below to learn more and click on the button to access the activity. Hasta pronto, Doctora Collado Hola, This Sunday, April 5, 2020, we are hosting the third and final part of our distance reiki sessions, at 4:00 pm EST. This session is also free of charge and the intention is to integrate the now and the future to unfold what will be. To participate, fill out the form below, by clicking on the button.
