So this week was pretty relaxed--as are most weeks in Spain. This week in class we are getting the kids ready for Halloween! Some of the activities included learning words like 'Witch' 'Pumpkin' and 'Ghost' in English while playing a few games and coloring pictures. My absolute favorite activity was when I got to teach "Time Warp" to the class and I had the whole class doing the dance!! Shout out to Michelle Pooler on that one!! I know you love you some Rocky Horror! Unfortunately I can't take pictures of the kids at school because they need parental consent, but there are two blogs about the classes I am helping with if you want to take a look! rosaliapadronclil.blogspot.com and rosalianos.blogspot.com
Today one of my host mom's friends had a birthday so we went to this super cute little restaurant and had a delicious meal. The meal started with croquettas and Reindeer thinly sliced (Yea. Reindeer. You only live once!) The main course though was yellow rice that had a type of seafood (most similar to lobster) and just amazing seasoning. It was delicious!! Or Ricisimo in Spanish! And of course...wine :)
Agueda has decided that she likes to take over my camera, so one day when I was babysitting, she took some funny pictures of us just goofing around. Also, Celsa got a haircut which turned out a little off balance haha Agueda thinks she looks like a boy but I think she is still Guapisima :)
Cute kids. Use Halloween to teach colors and shapes. I did that in a very successful lesson years ago. Also ask What scares you? People produce and remember language when strong emotion is involved. Have fun. Do you have any Halloween candy?
