Seeing as it’s been more than two months since I arrived at this amazing school I think it’s time I introduce myself! My name is Nancy and I am the English Language Assistant (ELA) this school year at CEIP Antonio Rodríguez Almodóvar. I am from California, USA and this is my fifth year working as an ELA.
The first few weeks were spent introducing myself and getting to know how things worked around the school. At the end of October I shared with the students different ways in which Halloween is celebrated in the States. I didn’t expect such enthusiasm for this holiday and was pleasantly surprised at the awesome decorations all over the school!
The final topic of this year will be winter holidays! I talked about Christmas and how my family and I celebrate this special holiday, but there are also other holidays the students may not have been familiar with. I enjoyed sharing these new (to them) holidays this week.
Time has flown by and I am enjoying every minute of it. I will try to do a better job with this blog to keep you up to date on everything going on with the 5th graders and all the material they are learning in their science classes. I hope you all have a great winter break with your loved ones!
