A small and lovely school in the country!
Escuela Manuel Belgrano!
This school only has one person that works here, their Principal!
There are 18 students who attend the school.
They have five dogs that they care for at the school!
These two children are in Kindergarten!
On the black board, there were messages about the USA's 4th of July celebration!
How cute! Dogs are allowed at school in Argentina!
The children work with their principal, Marta Peralta.
Marta is a friend of Sra. Carrizo!
Marta is a friend of Sra. Carrizo!
Marta is the only teacher and only principal!
Children at this school are between Kindergarten and Sixth Grade!
Marta cooks snacks for her students!
There is Marta's car!
Guess what!

The principal lives at the school Monday through Friday!
On the weekends she drives home to the city!
This is a tree very close to the school that is hundreds of years old!
It is so huge, local farmers built splints to hold up the branches!
This way the tree limbs don't break from the weight of itself!
If you look close, you can see a birds' nest in this tree!
At the end of the school day, the children retire the Argentina flag!
This is accomplished with great pride and respect!
As a gift of friendship, Marta and her children presented Dr. Patschke
with a miniature Argentina flag and pole.
We had an awesome visit to this small country school!
The children are so happy!
They had time to run and play at recess!
The surrounding countryside is beautiful and filled with natural gifts!
Farms and forests surround the school!
This church is right down the road!
There are the school dogs again!
What a GREAT visit!!
Be proud Escuela Manuel Belgrano!
There is love and learning under that roof!
What will we learn about next?
You'll find out soon!
Check back often and stay connected!
