A BIG PROBLEM

(by Facio Francisco, Agustina Mele, Noelia Amato, Juan Manuel Aloe)

The teachers don’t agree with the use of fans in the classroom, since they make a lot of noise and the students can’t listen what the teacher is explaining. But the summer is coming and we need them.

ALEJANDRA LEFT US

(by Marianela Palazzi, Rodrigo Ereno and Ivan Navarro)

The teacher Alejandra works in another school because it´s a best position for her. Her work is headmistress of the school. It´s a good opportunity for her job.

PRISION BREAKS

(by Facio Francisco, Agustina Mele, Noelia Amato, Juan Manuel Aloe)

Last week, the headmasters decided that students mustn’t leave the school before the breaks (11:40 hs).

The students disagree with this decision because this also delays our meeting with the food in our houses, and not only this, it also take out "study time". We think it should be better to go out when the break starts.

THE “INTEGRADOR”

(by Santiago Fernández, Matías Castro, Leonardo Ramírez, Franco Niccolini and Elina Maidana)

On November 8th , the students from 2nd Naturales had a Math's final exam. That exam was too hard, so only 10 of 38 students passed it. They got angry with the teacher and complained a lot. Unfortunately, the teacher didn’t give any explanation.

TWO LINES!

(by Almeida, Calderón, Mastrachio, Viñoly and Quintero)

Weeks ago, we had to make two lines to buy in the kiosk. Because the students "fought" to buy just one candy. Gaby, our "preceptora", watched them all the time.

One advice, never break the lines!

WHO DID IT?? -THE CHAOTIC THEATRE‏

(by Aloe, Facio, Amato and Mele)

Broken chears, ugly smell, dust, spider webs everywhere... this is the school theatre... Sickening, uh?

Who' s the responsible? We don't know, it's a mistery! It's a slip of the headmasters or the small mind of the students? We don't know, but we will investigate.

Enter to the Blog next week to know the true about the theatre.

A LONG BREAK FOR ALL!

(by Almeida, Calderón, Mastrachio, Viñoly and Quintero)

EFFETA

(by Franco Niccolini, Santiago Fernández, Matías Castro, Leonardo Ramírez and Elina Maidana)

On October 26th the teachers of the school went on an Effeta trip to Cordoba to help people there. They carried clothes, food, books, and other things; and on October 27th the students went too, and they did activities with other schools of the country. They came back on October 31st.

BREAK EXPRESS

(by Agustina Mele, Noelia Amato, Francisco Fascio)

The school's breaks are very short. When you begin to relax, the bell rings and all of the students have to go to the class.

This is terrible!!! Because we need more time to clear the mind, to buy in the kiosk and interchange words with other students.

The students said: "Time is very short!!!"

THE FIRST FIRE DRILL 2009

(by Marina Desco, Julia Pensado, Belén Gómez and Xiomara Barreto)

At the beginning of April we did an emergency drill in our school to evacuate quickly the San Antonio High School, but it could have been faster. We believe that the school should extend the emergency exit or create a new door to make it easer to evacuate. But we emphasize that the organization was very good.

NEW NAME FOR SAN ANTONIO DE PADUA

(by Álvarez Sofía, Toledo Romina, Amato Ayelén, Barreto Xiomara, Gómez Belén)

We propose to change the name “San Antonio de Padua” for “El Santo Patrono de San Antonio de Padua de quien lleva el nombre el colegio Centro Educativo Franciscano San Antonio” because we go to this school (C.E.F.S.A.), and we feel identified with this name.

The name has 98 letters!

BUENOS AIRES, A GREAT CITY

(by Jon Almeida, Fernando Calderón; Maribel Mastrachio, Federico Quintero and Mariana Viñoly)

Buenos Aires is in Argentina. The people here speak Spanish. The climate is milder than in New York. In this city the Cabildo can be found, this is favoulous. The Cabildo isn`t as big as the Government House. In Buenos Aires you can eat ‘choripan’ in the Costanera. Choripan is a typical food in Argentina.
