Spanish term
cariñograma
Spanish to English
Other
Education / Pedagogy
Hello. This is from a local newspaper article written by a school, about an end-of-term trip that includes a visit to another school (Spain):
"Como recuerdo del día de convivencia, regalaron unos “cariñogramas” a los chicos y chicas con los que compartieron ese día."
From what I can tell from the Internet, this seems to be some kind of message board for posting anonymous messages of affection. Not a very Anglo-Saxon thing to do so perhaps there is no such thing in English!
Going into UK English.
Thanks for your help
Simon

loveogram, love-o-gram - see below
Something in the line of 'telegram'; love-o-gram is the thing I come across, but there are many variations on the "x-o-gram' theme; you can even send an online Jeff "Goldblum-o-gram" to someone you appreciate (--or not).

Appreciation messages
It's a new concept for me too and for several of my coleagues. However I found this explanation on the internet which would seem to suggest it is the creation of "one" teacher.
<<<El cariñograma consiste en colocar sobre una cartulina un sobre de color por cada alumno/a con su nombre y la solapa hacia fuera. Una de las cartulinas se utilizará para agradecer algo a los compañeros y profesores. La otra para pedir perdón en el caso de que nos cueste hacerlo .
Cada viernes leeremos nuestra correspondencia .
Más adelante contaremos nuestras experiencias al respecto.
Así aprenderemos a mejorar nuestras actitudes para con los demás.>>>
A rather novel way of introducing Appreciation Notes into the school/classroom situation.

a message of affection
I think it doesn´t exist in English. However, I understand that cariñogramas are messages sent among classmates to say thank or to apologize for something. Cariño means affection, so it could be a good choice.

loveogram/lovogram
Maybe making up the word -(like kissogram). Considering it is not an extended practice but rather the creation of one particular teacher.

: Maybe not a very common practice but not so weird either; It's rather like the notes we used to write in school when someone got a baby brother or sister or lost a relative

CARIÑOGRAMAS.
En algunas de las encuestas pasadas al alumnado y a las familias para recoger su opinión sobre el estado de la convivencia en nuestro centro, se opinaba que el profesorado suele prestar demasiada atención a los alumnos/as que se portan mal y que muy pocas veces de valora positivamente a aquellos que cumplen las Normas y se portan adecuadamente. La reflexión conjunta, realizada en sesión de Claustro, nos llevó a utilizar una estrategia dirigida a prestar atención a actitudes positivas, reconociendo públicamente el esfuerzo de los alumnos cuando cumplan las Normas, los “Cariñogramas” (idea que hemos tomado del C.E.I.P “La Ina” de Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz).
Un “Cariñograma” es una nota escrita que se cuelga en un panel específico de la clase para expresar nuestro aprecio hacia una persona, felicitarla por algo que ha conseguido, pedir disculpas o nuestra valoración negativa de algo que ha hecho, teniendo como única premisa el respeto. La nota puede ser escrita tanto por los maestros/as como por los alumnos/as del grupo.

Caregram
I have seen candygrams for Valentine's day where messages are given along with a piece of candy. So in this case, since it's only a message being given, perhaps we could modify it a bit to caregram or gratitudegram.
