Italian Holiday Celebration!

Ciao a tutti!

On Friday, December 3rd, the students and staff of Italian 96r invite you and your children to an Italian Holiday Celebration at 3:30 PM on Harvard's campus (specific location TBD). We will be discussing the holiday season in Italy, and how their festivities differ from our own. Naturally, as part of the cultural experience, we will be preparing (and eating!) delizioso Italian holiday food!

La Befana is an important figure in the Italian holiday season!

Please join us as we ring in the holidays all'italiana!

Arrivederci!

Meet the Teachers!

Our team for 2010/2011:

Ciao! My name is Alex, and I'm a senior from nearby Weston, MA. I study Computer Science and English in addition to Italian, and I've TF'ed Harvard courses on 6 occasions over the past four years (though never a K/Pre-K class, I admit!). I'm very excited to be helping out in the classroom at G & P this semester!

Hi, my name is Anna and I have been studying Italian for a few years now. I love art-- especially painting, drawing, and photography. I'm so excited to be teaching Italian at Graham and Parks this year!

Ciao! My name is Anthony Spadafino, but in Italian they call me Antonio. I am a senior Economics concentrator, and I am on the Harvard football team. Being from Southern California, I love going to the beach in my free time. I look forward to getting to know all of your children and having a great school year learning a new language!

Ciao amici! My name is Becky. I am a senior studying English, and I have also studied Italian, Welsh, and Hebrew at Harvard. My sister, parents, and golden retriever live in Washington D.C., where my Mom is an elementary school teacher. I am really excited to get to know all of you!

My name is Mariana and I am from Puerto Rico. I love cooking; especially Italian food. I learned Italian at Harvard and have traveled all around Italy to learn about Italian culture. I'm really excited to share what I've learned at G&P this fall!

My name is Matteo and I’m a Junior Psychology Concentrator from Rhode Island. This past summer, I had the chance to study in Italy and I’m looking forward to sharing what I learned with the students of G & P!

Hi! My name is Taryn, although in Italian I am known as Tarina. I am a sophomore and an Economics major from Southern California. I play soccer for the university and love ice cream. I really enjoy working with children and I’m very excited for the upcoming semester!
