teaching

Today we went to the school and began our first days of teaching. I had a great time, presenting things about Canada - culture, lifestyle, other facts and then I usually ended up talking about my family. 3 classes at an hour each..definitely recylced my material but the kids had lots of questions and it was fun. Funny things...
I´m teaching all different ages from 1st year ESO (obligatory secondary education) which goes up to 4th ESO and then they have 1st and 2nd year BACC (equivalent to the baccalaureat program..sorry, don´t know the spelling). So the 1st years don´t talk to much so I talked a bunch in that one but I taught a 3rd ESO and 2nd BAC and it was good. Good quetions and they said they understood me...lisp and all hey pops? ha ha So essentially, it is ranging from 12-18 year olds...roughly grade 7 to grade 12 in our system.
It was interesting talking to the older kids (2nd year BAC) because they asked lots of questions about Canadian school, employment, university - as it is something they´ll be entering next year.
Another quick note before I sign off, if you check out Eric´s blog, he has some great pictures of Jaén and other stuff. Sorry about my lack of photos..have a digital camera but it is harder for me to download them all on since I don´t have a laptop like he does. One of these days I´ll try on this computer here in the residence.
Take care all
