THANKSGIVING 2014

I had a great experience a week ago teaching at a local school here in Seville. I am so glad I had this opportunity to share about my culture since I have spent the last three months learning about this one. All of the students were so fun and I really enjoyed meeting and talking with them. I met people of all different ages and English levels, and had a great cultural exchange where we learned from one another. I learned of some tradition here in Spain that are similar to the ones I have in the States.
All the teachers were so kind and helpful as well. If I got the chance I would definitely do it again!
Even though I was away from home for the first time during this special holiday, I got to have a fun and unique experience here in Spain. I still took time to reflect and think about the things I was thankful for in this time, and my friends and I shared our ideas.
Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks, and I am definitely very thankful for Juanma and all the students and staff at his school!
Ciao,
Marissa

HALLOWEEN 2014

Halloween in El Molinillo

On Thursday October 30th we celebrated Halloween with the classes of 1^st.  We played halloween games and learned some new English vocabulary.  I think the children’s favorite game was ‘Charades’, which is a game where the students have to act out a word.  The person who guessed the word correctly in English got a piece of candy. It was fun to watch the students interpret the words in their own creative way.  We laughed, played and had a really good time!
