BIENVENIDA

Comenzamos un nuevo año escolar y, con él un nuevo desafío.
Una vez más, los alumnos se acercan con su expectativas por mejorar y el deseo de alcanzar una meta. Una meta que, quizás, haya quedado pendiente o postergada en otro momento y que, por ello hoy cobre una significación tan importante.
Para nosotros, los docentes, un nuevo ciclo escolar representa la posibilidad de transferir todo aquello que sabemos, con respeto, comprensión y afecto, pero a la vez, en un entorno de vínculos, historias de vidas y modalidades de aprendizaje distintas, que tendremos que descubrir.


Las razones por las que, tantos alumnos como docentes, coincidimos aquí, en este tiempo y ámbito escolar, son diferentes y variadas. Pero a todos, finalmente, nos une un mismo motivo y una misma creencia: sabemos que aprender es crecer, aprender es mejorar y superarse. Y es a través del camino de la educación permanente, que estará viva la esperanza de una mejor calidad de vida y la posibilidad de elevar nuestra propia estima y nuestra dignidad como personas.

HISTORIA DE LOS NÚMEROS

Los números que escribimos están compuestos por algoritmos, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) llamados algoritmos arábigos, para distinguirlos de los llamados algoritmos romanos (I; II; III; IV; etc.).
Los árabes popularizaron estos algoritmos, pero su origen se remonta a los comerciantes fenicios que los usaban para contar y anotar su contabilidad comercial.

¿Tú te preguntaste alguna vez, el motivo por el cual 1 significa “uno”, 2 significa “dos”, 3 significa “3”…?
¿Cuál es la lógica que existe en los algoritmos arábigos?

¡Son ángulos!

Mira estos algoritmos escritos en su forma primitiva y compruébalo! …
Moraleja de la historia:
¡Nunca es tarde para aprender!

Reflexions about ¨Superstitions

I remember my father, a clever jewelry worker, with his University of life over his shoulders, always repeating his warnings: if you have to take any exam, enter the examination room with your right foot; or on anybody’s wedding day the bride has to wear a borrowed object; etc.
So let’s talk about the origin of superstitions, the roots of these strange human beliefs and behaviours. That famous superstition about the bad luck you will get by walking under a ladder comes from the early Christian belief which explained that a leaning ladder, together with wall and the ground, formed a triangle. This comes from an old Christian rule which says that you must never violate the holy trinity by walking through a triangle because you can be considered in league or in association with the devil. This sacred triangle includes the three forms of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; as a consequence of this you may not be seen as a good Christian by other people. There are a lot of superstitions in the Jewish religion; and there are also mixed Jewish – Christian superstitions.
When somebody has a happy moment in his life, like success in his work, a graduation, the birth of a child, moving to a new house, a new car etc, it is very usual, among Jewish people, to say in Yiddish language ¨Kein Ayin Hoar¨.
Which means ¨may the evil eye stay away¨? This is specially related to the envy or bad energy that might come from people, which can ruin our success and happiness.
There are a lot of these superstitious concepts written in the cabala.
The truth is that I don’t believe in superstitions, I believe in God, and that he takes care of me. I don’t believe in the devil or in witches, but please beware of them, because sometimes it seems that they exist.

SUPERSTITION


Superstition is an idea or belief kept by people for illogical reasons, also based on an irrational fear. Those who have been convinced that a superstition is a reality believe that good luck or bad luck could be true, as well.
We think that luck is really our destiny and changing it is very hard, almost impossible. That is the reason why we should analyze all that information and act in consequence.
Many people in the world have faith. They believe in god; that he has created us and that he protects us all.
But, have fairies ever been lovely witches?; do people’s spirits become ghosts after death?
Our parents have taught us that we mustn’t cry for whom we have lost; we should let them go, maybe to heaven.
About clairvoyants, if they have power to predict the future why don’t they win the lottery?
Perhaps we have been surrounded by skepticism.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Finally, I arrived at Scotland and visited the old castle which was famous for its stories about ghosts.
At that moment I heard a horrible noise coming from the stairs.
I was extremely nervous and afraid.
Many years ago a Duke lived there, and it’s said that his spirit surrounded the place.
My heart beat fast.When I turned round I saw a handsome man with huge green eyes who laughed at me and invited me to have some tea with him.
That’s why at that precise moment I thought that ghosts were good and helped me to find a BOYFRIEND.
