Today was pretty chill. First hour I had 6C and we played BINGO with their vocab words about professions—i.e. lawyer, doctor, builder, housewife…I then chose a word for them to guess. They were supposed to ask descriptive questions in order to guess it, but they went right to asking “are you a ________?” I didn’t think I had picked a hard one (actor), but it took them like ten minutes to guess!

In 2B, we worked a little more with their farm animal vocab and whilst doing that Fran told me that they didn’t know the English alphabet, so we went over it. Then I chose a letter and they had to come up with words that start with that letter. They also wanted to know what their names would be in English, so we went around the room and if they were translatable, (is that a word??) I told them what it would be—example Carlos = Charles/Charlie. Some also don’t translate, like Ainhoa and Rocío.

The last two hours (with a free hour in between) were with 3A and B. They had an exam, so it was pretty boring. This cute little girl Ángela, though, drew me a picture of a princess and wrote on there that I’m the best teacher EVER! Yeah!

I had my lesson with Carlos today and we practiced his vocab words and then we reviewed the alphabet, like we did in class today. His pronunciation of the letters isn’t the greatest, but we’re working on it! He kinda knows the ABC song…he sings ABCDEF but then skips to like LMNOP. Yeah…it’s a work in progress! But he really tries, so that’s good!

I got a letter in the mail on Saturday that said that my package from home was stuck in Madrid. I thought that I had to go there to pick it up, but I asked Rocío and Pilar today and they said the notice I got was only to tell me I had to sign this sheet so it could be delivered from Madrid to Socuéllamos. I’m relieved that I don’t have to make a trip, but I don’t understand why this package it different…the first one was delivered without any problems…WHAT???

Xoxo,
