Cultural Experience for Spanish AP Students

By: Juanjo Vazquez-Caballero
 
Last week, AP students went to New Haven to have a great cultural experience.
The visit was divided into two parts.  We watched a movie from Dominican Republic called, ”Chroma Kid.”  We shared the room, a two hundred year old church that Yale University bought and converted into a classroom, with three hundred students from New Haven Public Schools.  The movie is about a boy “ Emi” who must deal with the disappearance of his parents into another dimension after a magic trick spirals out of control.
 
We went to an authentic Cuban restaurant (Soul of Cuba). Personally, I recommend the restaurant; it has delicious food and a great location.  It is a small and cozy place with lots of stories, art, and pictures from the family of the Cuban owner. We enjoyed the Cuban sandwiches, as well as the company of a friendly staff and great conversations with Jesus Puerto (the owner). Some of the students finished up by eating an ice cream.
