Wednesday, December 1st

OvO, Silvia, Art
We continued working on the presentation of colors, and finished translating and correcting the slides. We talked about what I would do with 2nd Eso the next day--present basic information on colors (primary, secondary, etc.)

OvO, Juanma, Technology
We continued to plan ahead and looked at the students next activity--making a pop-up Christmas card. We explored the process and brainstormed ways to incorporate English. Students will write a Christmas message in English on the card and I will help them do this.

Eliseo, Gym, 1st Eso
Eliseo and I decided to play two different types of dodgeball (something we had talked about doing before). The Spanish way and the American way are different, so we decided to first play the Spanish way, and then I explained the American version. After, the kids played the American way. We then planned on having kids practice their English by getting into small groups and identifying the differences between the two, but we ran out of time.

Thursday, December 2nd

Eliseo, Gym, 2nd Eso
We did the same dodgeball lesson that we did the day before with the 1st Eso.

Gustavo, Math, 2nd Eso
I took notes and listened to Gustavo present content to the students. Before I left I went over a few errors with him.

Alfonso, Social Studies, 1st Eso
Students practiced interpreting weather maps. They would look at a weather map of Spain with different symbols they had been practicing in English and would take turns being the weather-man by interpreting the map, speaking in English. I helped with any vocabulary and pronunciation.

Alfonso, Social Studies, 2nd Eso
We did a reading covering Feudalism. Students listened to me read a section, and then one of them repeated the section, and Alfonso kept track of new vocabulary on the board, and interjected by routinely further explaining the content.

OvO, Alfonso, Social Studies
We talked about other ways I could help in the classroom and brainstormed an activity to do with 1st Eso relating to Ecosystems and types of animals that live in those ecosystems.

Silvia, Art, 2nd Eso
I presented material covering primary and secondary colors. I used a powerpoint presentation that Silvia had put together and stressed the importance of understand colors and how artists use them to make a painting/drawing more powerful.

Monday, December 6th--No School

Tuesday, December 7th

OvO, Gustavo, Math
We went through a reading packet he had sent me to make corrections and then looked at word problems that students were continuing to send him. We corrected these for the rest of the time.

Juanma, Technology, 2nd Eso
I brainstormed Christmas vocabulary with the students to help them come up with messages that they could write in their pop-up Christmas cards. The students then worked on Christmas messages and I helped them structure them.

Silvia, Art, 1st Eso
I led a discussion, using a powerpoint presentation Silvia had made, talking about the basic elements of expressionism. I had done points and lines with them already, so this time we looked at planes. We looked at different pieces of artwork and I had students read the English slides.
