Dani is already at High School (1st ESO) now and I can't be prouder of him because he is a really hard- working, nice and responsible student. No wonder why his first mark at English at High School was 10! He used to tell me his secrets, ask me for advice and talk about his dreams. Being his English teacher for three years has been a great honour for me. His Galician teacher, Lorena, asked him to talk about his life in a square metre and guess what..! He has included me in it! What a wonderful surprise! Thanks for making my day, Dani! I'm sure all your dreams will come true! I love you to the moon and back!
Although we tried to do our best, this Halloween has been a little bit quiet at school due to the covid protocol. However, Asier celebrated it at home making a pumpkin cake. Thanks for sharing it with us, Asier! Great picture!🎃 Tip : Click on the image to make it bigger.
Hi girls and boys!😉 How are you? I hope you have had a wonderful summer and you are full of energy to start this new and weird year. 💪 First of all, I would like you to be happy and calm because your teachers are trying to do their best to keep you safe. You just have to follow some simple rules and be serious and responsible about them. I can't wait to see you again, share with you so many good moments and learn a lot of new stuff. See you all very soon! Lots of hugs and kisses!
There is a story behind this quote that Laura and me won't ever forget... Thank you for keeping your promise, Laura! I am very proud of you and I'm sure I will receive your postcard from the USA some day. FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, THEY KNOW THE WAY! I love you and I will miss you a lot!
There is a quote that says: " It is a l aw of n at ure that you wi ll reap what you sow" but I think that I have a su rplus of my harvest because my plot is always very fruitful. Aarón wanted to show me how good his English was and I can´t be more proud of him. That´s the best present a teacher can get but he has worked a lot to achieve his level. CONGRATULATIONS!! Thank you so much for your amazing video, Aarón! YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SWEET! I WILL MISS YOU A LOT AND I HOPE YOU COME TO VISIT ME IN SEPTEMBER!
Another student is leaving school this year and her mum sent me one of the most touching e-mails I have ever received... The dedication of this picture reads: "Un pequeño cariño para alguien que reparte tanto...". Thanks so much, Paula! I am the luckiest teacher in the world because my students are the best! I don´t deserve that much! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR LOVE DEMONSTRATIONS, ÓSCAR! I LOVE YOUR PICTURES AND I AM REALLY MOVED BY THEM. I WILL MISS YOU A LOT! GOOD LUCK!
I was deleting some files from my mobile phone because I needed more space but when I watched these videos again I couldn´t do it! They brought me back some good and funny memories and I couldn´t stop laughing... Last year, Eira, Uxía, Noa and Alba invented some songs for me and then they went on a musical tour around the school. I think they are going to be mad at me when they see this post. WHY? Well, they might be"a little bit embarrased" because they are in 5th grade now, (6th grade next school year) and they are not little girls anymore. Sorry girls!! So that is the story of how I became famous for a day! You might think I am the most egocentric person in the world... I don´t blame you but I promise I didn´t have anything to do with the lyrics! 😂😂😂 PS: If you want me to sign an autograph for you, don´t forget to bring your face masks to my stand.😜
Luca will go to High School next year and he sent to me this funny video to say good bye. I ´m glad he thinks that I worked very hard but I am still waiting for his mark! 😜 THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR LOVELY SURPRISE, LUCA! HAVE A GREAT SUMMER AND GOOD LUCK!😍💓

New technologies have helped me to keep in touch with my old students through Instragram or through any other social media. I love it , that´s why I have to be up-to-date! All of them have left a trace on me because we spent three years together sharing many unforgettable moments. I remember Noa, she is in 2º ESO now and she is not a little girl anymore but I remember when she used to wait for me at the end of the class when everybody had gone to tell me about her problems and ask me for advice about her first crushes. She was so funny! Noa loved drawing and when I saw this amazing picture on her Instragram, I ask her if I could post it on the blog because I am sure that y ou a ll will indentify with her picture. She is an artist!! She was so nice and generous that she not only let me post it but also she dedicated it to me. I can´t believe she wasn´t sure if I remembered her! Thank you very much, Noa! I want you to know that you are unforgettable!
