\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year was even more special for two reasons. First, we currently have 3 classes at our office on Fridays: two classes of 11 Costa Rican youth with a socio-educational project we work on with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/somosfundacionmonge\/\">Fundaci\u00f3n Monge<\/a>&nbsp;and a private class with 2 professional adults. So this year we were able to invite our Tico students to our celebration for a truly multicultural event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, we had a surprise competition where our Idioma teachers were teamed up with our Tico students and charged with making a&nbsp;<em>farol<\/em>, or lantern, that symbolizes part of the lore of Costa Rican independence.&nbsp;<em>Faroles<\/em>&nbsp;are central to the Costa Rican independence day experience as Tico kids create them in school every year growing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7374-e1537480841349-768x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7374-e1537480841349-768x1024-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7374-e1537480841349-768x1024-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7374-e1537480841349-768x1024-1-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7374-e1537480841349-768x1024-1-15x20.jpg 15w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7374-e1537480841349-768x1024-1-27x36.jpg 27w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7374-e1537480841349-768x1024-1-36x48.jpg 36w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7374-e1537480841349-768x1024-1-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We divided into mixed teams of foreign teachers and Tico students and got right to work! We had only 30 minutes to construct a&nbsp;<em>farol<\/em>&nbsp;that would be judged by the following criteria: a) representation of Costa Rica; b) use of materials; c) ability to be illuminated; d) creativity; e) ability to hold up\/durability for use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We put on some typical Costa Rican music and started cutting, pasting, laughing and attempting to create the best&nbsp;<em>farol<\/em>&nbsp;of the group. With a prize ready for the winning team, the stakes were high!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-09-14-at-11.22.02-AM-2-225x300-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5516\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-09-14-at-11.22.02-AM-2-225x300-1.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.idiomacr.com\/?attachment_id=5516\" class=\"wp-image-5516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-09-14-at-11.22.02-AM-2-225x300-1.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-09-14-at-11.22.02-AM-2-225x300-1-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-09-14-at-11.22.02-AM-2-225x300-1-15x20.jpeg 15w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-09-14-at-11.22.02-AM-2-225x300-1-27x36.jpeg 27w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-09-14-at-11.22.02-AM-2-225x300-1-36x48.jpeg 36w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7371-e1537481769785-225x300-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5518\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7371-e1537481769785-225x300-2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.idiomacr.com\/?attachment_id=5518\" class=\"wp-image-5518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7371-e1537481769785-225x300-2.jpg 225w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7371-e1537481769785-225x300-2-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7371-e1537481769785-225x300-2-15x20.jpg 15w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7371-e1537481769785-225x300-2-27x36.jpg 27w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_7371-e1537481769785-225x300-2-36x48.jpg 36w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 30 minutes, our time was up; we were asked to drop our scissors and glue sticks and step away from the table.
