Type: Performances / Assembly
Program Availability: In-Person, Virtual, On-Demand
Description
Native Spanish-speakers Andrés and Christina of 123 Andrés explore our hemisphere in Spanish and English, as well as ASL. Our friend Juana is missing, and our only clue is that she’s somewhere in the Americas. Equipped with a giant map and several musical instruments, the audience embarks on a search for Juana, learning about geography, culture, and language. Students are engaged by creating rhythms, call-and-response, and small and full-body movements. In addition, Andrés and Christina share their immigration stories with upper elementary audiences, creating connections for students with real-life experiences. Can be performed fully in Spanish or bilingually.

Testimonials
123 Andrés is one of the very best performances I have seen in my 25 years teaching music. Even as a virtual on-demand assembly, students feel great interacting with Andres and Christine. The movement and student participation are excellent. This on-demand performance really reaches all students, especially our Spanish-Speaking EL students. The content and energy of this performance is amazing!
Music Teacher, Slackwood Elementary
The assemblies were perfect!! Our students who speak Spanish were extremely excited to see bilingual performers. Many [other] students made comments about the languages they spoke at home or about how they wanted to learn another language. The staff were very appreciative about the focus on different cultures and global learning.
School Counselor, Pine Crest Elementary
We really enjoyed the program. The performers were fabulous and engaged all of the students!
Teacher, James Monroe Elementary School
We all—faculty, staff, parents, and most importantly, students—absolutely loved the assemblies and Andrés and Christina were really wonderful performers. They kept the kids attention, taught them Spanish, geography, culture, and got them up and moving and dancing and having fun. It was really fantastic! I have had several colleagues express to me how much they enjoyed it.
Spanish Teacher, Wesley School
It was AMAZING.. Students wanted more! Bravo.. Brava! This was an amazing interactive program that kept 120 3 to 7 year olds engaged for over an hour. The teachers and the students talked about it all day! They want them back next year. Teachers stated that it was the BEST program we have had at our building. Thank you!
