"La parte donde más orgullosa estuve fue en el juego, porque así me di cuenta de que los niños aprendieron algo nuevo y yo me divertí haciéndolo."

"La parte en la que me senti más orgulloso fue en la exposición porque no me dio tanta pena hablar al frente de varios niños y de haberme sentido seguro de mí mismo de hablarles en inglés."

"Si, me parece una actividad interesante y divertida que puede ser mejor en años siguientes"

With only one English class per week, there was little time to plan, create, and present the museum pieces.
