About us
Sobre nosotras
We are two bilingual mothers and teachers who arrived from Spain as visiting teachers at the public schools in San Antonio, Texas. Our role was to exchange both educational cultures bringing together the best of both of them and to return to our country, but we fell in love with this city and its people. We currently form a great team and we believe in the dream of illuminating the educational and emotional future of many children.
Somos dos madres y maestras bilingĆ¼es que llegamos desde EspaƱa como profesoras visitantes a la escuela pĆŗblica de San Antonio, Texas. Nuestra funciĆ³n era intercambiar ambas culturas educativas reuniendo lo mejor de ambas para volver a nuestro paĆs, pero finalmente quedamos enamoradas de esta ciudad y su gente. Actualmente formamos un gran equipo y creemos en el sueƱo de iluminar el futuro educativo y emocional de muchos niƱos y niƱas.
Methodology
MetodologĆa
Fireflies Center is a place for both emotional and academic enrichment, which will help your child grow socially and personally. To achieve at a methodology that links emotions and academic growth, there is nothing better than experiencing teaching during a pandemic and the educational consequences after it.
The time during pandemic made us observe and discover new educational needs that we had never faced before. We lived a time of isolation in which the academic performance of the students had decreased substantially due to the lack of social contact and emotional expression. After this observation, we began to work sessions, in which we delved into the identification, expression and management of emotions. This had an impact on academic growth that reached 50% more than the average for students of the same age.
After analyzing these results, we began to plan a method in which we always combine emotions and curriculum. All our sessions begin with a work in which emotions are the protagonists and, in turn, the allies to carry out the academic work.
āWe are social beings and therefore we need by nature to relate to others".
(Rojas Estape, 2020).
This shows that only through socialization we will reach a stable emotional state and, consequently, academic success.
Fireflies Center es un lugar de enriquecimiento tanto emocional como acadĆ©mico, que ayudarĆ” a tu hijo/a a crecer social y personalmente. Para llegar a una metodologĆa que enlace emociones y crecimiento acadĆ©mico, no hay nada mejor que experimentar la enseƱanza durante una pandemia y las consecuencias educativas posteriores a ella.
āØEl tiempo de pandemia nos hizo observar y descubrir nuevas necesidades educativas con las que nunca nos habĆamos enfrentado. Vivimos una Ć©poca de aislamiento, en la que el rendimiento acadĆ©mico de los estudiantes habĆa disminuido sustancialmente debido a la falta de contacto social. y expresiĆ³n emocional.
Tras esta observaciĆ³n, comenzamos a trabajar sesiones, en las que profundizamos en la identificaciĆ³n, expresiĆ³n y gestiĆ³n de las emociones. Esto supuso un impacto sobre el crecimiento acadĆ©mico que alcanzĆ³ un 50% mĆ”s sobre la media de estudiantes de la misma edad.
āØDespuĆ©s de analizar estos resultados, comenzamos a planificar un mĆ©todo en el que siempre combinamos emociones y curriculum. Todas nuestras sesiones comienzan con un trabajo en el que las emociones son las protagonistas y a su vez, las aliadas para realizar el trabajo acadĆ©mico.
āSomos seres sociales y por tanto necesitamos por naturaleza relacionarnos con otros".
(Rojas Estape, 2020).
Esto demuestra que solo a partir de la socializaciĆ³n, alcanzaremos un estado emocional estable y en consecuencia el Ć©xito acadĆ©mico.
