The PBS Kids Go! web series Oh Noah! formerly known as Noah Comprende is back with a second season! The web series is offering new animated interactive videos and games that help our niños practice Spanish. We’ve already raved about Oh Noah! before.  What’s awesome about this series is that it offers our niños a little bit of everything they love. As they watch an  entertaining clip of Noah they also get to play fun games that reinforce Spanish vocabulary. We love this seriesRead More ...

My son and I were given the opportunity to visit the set of ParaNorman – a new stop-motion film by LAIKA studios that is currently in the works to hit theaters in August. We learned a lot about stop-motion animation. Wow! It is quite a process. We were so inspired we could not wait to get home and create a little video ourselves as part of our homeschooling art project. Of course, all I had in mind was a simple,Read More ...

The film was Born to be Wild, an endearing story of two women living in different countries, but both running orphanages for baby animals: one for elephants and the other for orangutans. Narrated by Morgan Freeman, “IMAX: Born to be Wild” enchanted my daughter the whole way through. What’s not to love about a bunch of baby orangutans leaping around in diapersRead More ...

   Like our  niños many of us are fans of Elmo, the not-so-monstrous Sesame Street monster. He’s definitely won us over with his friendly voice, and a laugh that we could recognize anywhere. But how many of us know who is behind the voice? Some of you might recall when Elmo spoke to SpanglishBaby en Español… un poquito; well, now we will get to meet Elmo’s puppeteer and creator, Kevin Clash.  The award-winning documentary,  Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey is premieringRead More ...
