I would like to mention that there was a
mother’ day festival in the school, and ALL the school personnel (teachers,
secretaries, janitors, prefects and so had to participate. Some teachers had to
accommodate the inviters, others cut and give the cake; others had to be in
charge of the sound and so on.
I had to be in the raffle, at the beginning of
the festival mothers were giving numbered tickets and then giving prizes to
those mothers whose numbers are chosen by chance. I was a nice experience because it was a nice
festival in which I could realize how talented the students are in playing
musical instruments, singing, dancing and reciting poetry. We also had a
teacher’s party. I had so much fun and also had the opportunity to meet with
others fellow teachers that work in the kindergarten, elementary school and the
university.
On this week
there was no homework with my students of high school because we’re reviewing
the units and the contents in the test.
With my
students of junior high school we have regular classes. Different booksellers came to my “unidad
receptora” and I receive many gifts from the publishers like agendas, pens, and
free course books for teachers etc. next week all the English teachers in the
school were are going to have a meeting and we have to decide which course book
will be for the next period. I started to feel pressure because I have not
decided if I going to be working in my “unidad recetora” and I want to choose
the right material for my students.
In my next
post I am going to comment about how well my students did on their tests.
Hi my dear friend, congratulations for the Mothers' festival and for the teachers' party!
ResponderEliminarIt'll be hard to decide what to do and to find out the best book for your students next year. It's nice to receive gifts from the 'casa editora', they always try to persuade about their material, you just say you'll think about it and get all what they give you.
Keep going!

Hello Sara:
ResponderEliminarThere is no doubt that May is a great month to be a teacher! I also love the free books and gifts from the publishers even when most of the times I already know which book we will be using. As Edna said, you just need to say thanks and I'll think about it :-)
It's nice that you had the chance of being part of a festival for Mother's days. Most high schools avoid this festivities (well, mine does).
congratulations on the work done so far, and the best wishes for what is coming!!!
