We are celebrating our very own teachers and staff for Hispanic Heritage Month! Let's celebrate Mrs. Miranda, our ML teacher. Educational Background: "I got my major in English and Literature from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. I have a Masters Degree in TESOL -Teaching English To Speakers of Other Languages- from Greensboro College." Home Country: Colombia About Colombia: Colombia is located on the northern part of South America. It borders the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Colombia is a beautiful country that offers diversity at all levels.Its climate is tropical along coast and eastern plains; cooler in highlands. Colombia's geography is diverse with flat lowlands and the high Andes Mountains.My country has the highest biodiversity of birds in the world and we are number one in emerald and number 2 in flower exportation. Because if the richness of our land we grow some of the best coffee beans in the world. Colombia also offers a variety of exotic fruits and delicious food. I hope by now you are considering traveling to Colombia. Three things I love about my country: I love the biodiversity and beauty offered by my country, The character and good heart of most of our people. The food. How often do I travel to my country: When I was single I used to travel every year. Now, I travel with my husband and son every other year. What I love most about my culture: Colombian culture is full of "passion". We celebrate life and are thankful for what we have. Colombians are (usually) hard workers and reliable. I love that in my culture it is important to get an education and to be a good human being. How my family celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month at home: This celebration was created in the US. Most Latin American natives do not celebrate it but, at home, I teach my son our values and traditions. For example, Valentine's in Colombia was celebrated on Sept 16th and we had a small family celebration. I try to incorporate other special dates in our family life throughout the year. Ways you can celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month: Reading and getting informed about Hispanic countries and their culture Fun Facts: Colombians like to dance, music is in our veins. We do not like it when people misspell Colombia and write "Columbia" We are so excited to celebrate Mrs. Miranda today and every day!
