Well, Mr. President, and Mr. Education Secretary, Arne Duncan, I welcome a call from either of you at 813.855.5393 (our bilingual Boca Beth offices in Tampa, Florida) to discuss how we can make that happen without having to hire bilingual staff for every classroom.  I have the solution for creating a future of lifetime language learners.  An interactive, integrated and realistic approach.  ¡ Llamame !  Call me!

“They” say in marketing that using testimonials makes more of an impact than some expensive ad!

Well, here at the Boca Beth Program, we have so many great testimonials about the success people are having using our Boca Beth CDs, DVDS, coloring/activity books and puppets that I felt I really needed to share some of these with the mundo/world!

From Teachers After Attending a Boca Beth Training – It’s Fun!

And read some of these amazingly touching testimonials on our web site at this link!

Or read a few right here!

We really made a great entrance into the homeschooling community back in 2007 at the Cincinatti Homeschooling Convention.  It’s a great group of families committed to bringing the best in educational tools and techniques to their children directly. 

As the founder of The Boca Beth Program this type of testimonial is PRICELESS!!!

So, why not enjoy a GiveAway from Jenn of One House Schoolroom in honor of all parents who are simply trying to give their children the best jump start on learning early in life?

As I sit here so emotional, so moved, so wonderfully full of American Pride, I can’t help but wonder if Malia and Sasha Obama will bring the Boca Beth Backpacks that they received back at their South Greenwood Avenue address in Chicago months ago.

Barack Obama Feels Each Child Should Speak Spanish

I had worked the campaign efforts here in Tampa, Florida on behalf of our soon-to-be-sworn-in President Barack Obama and, after hearing him speak repeatedly about making sure our children can speak Spanish, I decided to send his two daughters some of our fun and easy to use Boca Beth music and movement fun. 

Number one, to show them how much they were appreciated back in the Fall of 2008 having a Daddy gone so often on the campaign trail.  And number two, hoping their Daddy would see how an Irish American Teacher could really bring the gift of a second language to his own children and thousands of other children around the world!

Will Malia and Sasha Learn Spanish with Boca Beth fun?

Now, with the day upon them here to move into the White House, I can’t help but wonder if those two young girls will fill the White House with sounds of my bilingual beats some days…Will they pull out BOCA the puppet and have some silly Spanish and English fun time?…How about a mini lesson with friends who come to visit using our Boca Beth coloring/activity book?

Oh!!!! I hope so amigas, amigos / friends!

Happy Educating!  Sea feliz educando!

I have not felt such emotion, such pride about being an American since I cast my vote the fall of 2008 and watched the election results roll in.  As Pastor Willy Rice said today, “It makes no difference your political affiliation, nor who you voted for or who you agree or disagree with.  It’s evident that this Tuesday will be a time for change for our country as the transition of power of our nation’s leaders takes place, and we must pray for those in authority, those who lead our great nation.”

We Are One Concert Event

HBO allowed even non-subscribers to view the wonderful concert event tonight that was filmed earlier today called We Are One.  And I truly think we will subscribe to HBO simply because of their great American demonstration of coming together based not on color or creed or religious beliefs or gender.  What took place tonight via the HBO concert special event was truly a proud American Moment.

Things are going to be much better if you only will………….

We shall be free…………

May God protect Barack Obama, his wife, his children, his vice president and his family and those near to him and those advising him as he takes on the tremendous task of helping our great nation be great once again.

Happy Friday Morning!  The closer we get to President Barack Obama’s Inauguration Day, the more hopeful I feel and lighter is my step.

Read this account of the new stimulus plan for the education of our United States’ schools as reported on EdWeek.org.  You too might feel a bit more full of hope for the young children of our country and the future they represent.

Let’s celebrate with a fun Boca Beth bilingual song for all of the special children in your life!

The news this morning in our Tampa Tribune newspaper (yes!  WE still read a good old fashioned newspaper daily!!!) was awesome, terrific, inspiring and more for a Monday!

Tim Tebow, the wonderfully talented and very motivational and very Christianity-on-my-sleeve and face, will return to Florida next year ….. boldly blazing a path that very few young adults dare to even dream about!

Sharing the message of the Lord, John 3:16

Tebow shares The Word of God with fans

I have been asked many times during my public performances to not sing our Boca Beth bilingual Christian songs in order not to offend anyone.  I have been asked during many keynote events not to bring God into the picture as I paint my very unique and engaging story!

As I watch and admire Tim Tebow, I wonder at myself, “Why do you agree NOT to share the word of the Lord when it is that very word that has brought you to where you are today?”  Shame on me!  A grown woman has not the courage to do what a bold college aged young man does daily - and that is to thank Jesus for being our Lord and Savior.

Do you feel this is something I should continue to walk on eggshells about?  Would you agree NOT to share your faith during a speech with fellow educators – many of whom are believers, and many of whom would benefit from hearing just a little bit of good ol’ “Thank you Jesus!”?

I would love to know YOUR thoughts on this – thank you/gracias. 

And Tim, thank you for inspiring someone at least twice your age to minister more to those she reaches daily also!
