<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;">This class is part of a Spanish Immersion Program where your child will be introduced to basic concepts like the animals, colors, numbers and letters. All of these through the universal language of Music. Each session is fun, interactive and engaging.<br />A selection of Children Songs in Spanish guides the class from start to finish. Activities are related to the lyrics, in order to familiarize the children with the words and their meanings. Some of the songs encourage the children to dance. Nilda uses puppets, musical instruments, and props to teach children basic vocabulary through action and interaction, rather than through translation.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;"><br />The classes are streamed on Zoom's webinar platform. Participants (children, parents, nannies) are able to join the video from their homes and interact with us in real-time, it is a fun and engaging experience.</div>
A clear sign that the vegan revolution is gaining traction (at least on the sweet tooth front): Fernanda Capobianco, the wife of famed pastry chef Francois Payard, the legendary French restaurant and bakery which graced the Upper East Side for many years, has recently opened Vegan Divas at First Avenue near 75th Street. The menu includes chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon doughnuts, blueberry lemon muffins, and cakes of all varieties as well as many mousses—all of which are 100% natural, high on fiber, and low on cholesterol. We can’t think of a better way to indulge in “smart” sweets.
