Monday and Tuesday at SchoolI would like to update you on the last few days, unfortunately I have had a lot of work to do for Gustavus and Sotogrande, so they will be very brief.
Monday was a typical day at school. Dan observed another math lesson, and I am transitioning into taking over all of the language courses. Right now the students are working on persuasive writing. After school I talked with Dan for a while about graduate schools. I also talked with him about how to best plan the remainder of my fractions lessons. His advice was very helpful. He also interviewed me on my propaganda lesson for his research on "cognitive load" that he is conducting with the current student teachers.
Today I accompanied the year six students on their trip to English International School in Marbella for a football tournament. It was so much time and the weather was great. It was nice to take a day away from the school to better get to know the students and their personalities outside of the classroom. I made some connections with students that I had a hard time reaching in the classroom. I got quite a few pictures and videos of the students playing - they are very talented. When I get back I hope to make an iMovie of my trip that includes my videos and pictures.
Tomorrow I teach quite a few lessons. Thursday we are hoping to get a turkey for Thanksgiving and have it at Sam and Mireille's. Mireille has done most of the work in locating one, surprise, surprise. =]
Hopefully I will find some time to write more later this week.
Miss you all back home, looking forward to seeing some familiar faces!
