Cine en El Lago del Bosque
“Canto” updates: Check our new additions to our singing section, “Amigos” y “Costumbres Argentinas”.
One of the “materias elegidas” (electives) that credit kids could do was “Cine en Español”. The villagers learned how movies were done and learn more about Hispanic culture trough Spanish movies. As a part of their final proyect for the class (mini-proyectos) they got to make their own “cortometrajes” (short films). Choosing from different techniques and genres they creatively told great stories, let’s check some of them!

¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
2011 is ending. Is time to make “reflexiones” about what have been done this past year, learn from what hasn’t been done like we wanted to and celebrate all the positive things we have enjoyed. Hopefully “El lago del Bosque” was one of those highlights, and as the snow slowly falls over the village, we look back at the fun past summer and remember one of the best ways of ending our summer days, bonding with friends with a “fogata”. So let’s celebrate the ending of 2011 with one!
We wish you a great year 2012 to come, “¡Feliz Año Nuevo para todos!” and let’s see each other again next summer! “Hasta luego….”

Gracias por la Comida!
UPDATES: Check our latest additions to our “Canto” section, let’s sing “A Rodar” and “Color Esperanza”, and check also our other “canciones favoritas” from El lago del Bosque 2011.
Getting to know and learn about a different culture is also trying their food. “La comida” is a great way to learn about Hispanic culture, for example you can try the spicy mexican food, have a tasty argentinian piece of meat or enjoy a variety of flavors with “tapas españolas”. El Lago del Bosque represents the best of the Hispanic food, have you tried “asado” or “taqueria”? you’ll love it!
To give thanks for the food we eat every day, we sing the song “Gracias por el Pan”

Dia de la Raza!
The past October 12 is a very important date for everyone living in the American continent.
After navigating for 72 days, on October 12, 1492, sailor Rodrigo de Triana saw a piece of land in the horizon. This discovery changed the general idea about the planet and brought about something that not even Colón had imagined: the union of two worlds.
This discovery allowed America to receive a major cultural input, of artistic expressions, both occidental and oriental, and also allowed Europe to perceive the cultural richness, progress, creativity and art of the New World.
We celebrate this “Day of the Race” in El Lago del Bosque encouraging everyone to experience different cultures, learn and understand the importance of this day!

A Visitar El Lago del Bosque!
Let’s start remembering the summer by taking a tour through the beautiful Bemidji site. El Lago del Bosque Bemidji was born in 2001 but kept growing until 2004 when it was finished. Since the idea of Spanish inmersion was very important, the buildings were made according to “la arquitectura española”. So you can find a typical Spaniard “plaza” with a “fuente” (fountain). The “comedor”, “centro de actividades” y “la Hacienda” have “arcos” and “mosaicos” representing Spaniard houses. “La Colina” the newest addition of cabins, represent the Spanish Central American culture. For those who loves shopping you’ll find “la tienda y la dulcerÃa” (the gifts and candy store). If you are more into trying great Spanish food “el asador” is for you were great “asados” (argentinian barbecues) and “taquerias” are made. All kind of sports are played in “el campo deportivo” and you can always refresh and swim in “la playa”. . Dont forget to visit “el anfiteatro” to sing songs or have a “fogata”. Visiting El Lago del Bosque it’s like entering a little Spanish world, full of details everywhere and with the forest and the lake as witnesses! A beautiful setting for everyone to learn Spanish!
