=What have you created?= Hola amigos! It's 2nd B, from Buenos Aires, Argentina! We prepared a short video for you.. with a 'Poesía' (poem in Spanish, written by Gabriela Mistral, a Chilean author) that is about how much love we give to plants when we plant and take care of them! It's part of a project we're doing in Spanish. The poem says: Plantando el árbol // Planting a tree // Abramos la dulce tierra // Let's open the sweet soil // con amor, con mucho amor; // lovingly, lovingly // es éste un acto que encierra, // this act reveals // de misterios, el mayor. // the biggest mistery of all. //

Te dejo en pie. Ya eres mío, // You are standing. You're mine, // y te juro protección, // and I swear to protect you // contra el hacha, contra el frío // against the axe, against cold, // y el insecto, y el turbión. // against bugs and bad weather //

A tu vida me consagro; // I consecrate myself to your life // descansarás en mi amor. // you'll rest in my love. // ¿Qué haré que valga el milagro // What could I do that would worth // de tu fruto y de tu flor? // the miracle of your fruit and your flower? // And in the end there's a little bit of "Little Jack Horner" one of our favorite Nursery Rhymes.
