As I'm writing this, my head is spinning with lists and lists of things I need to still do. At this time (10 pmish) in 3 days, I will be headed to SPAIN! I feel like I've been preparing for this moment for so long and it's finally almost here!!
I got an email from a teacher I will be working with while in Spain tonight, and though it's a little late, I'm glad to finally have more information about the school in which I'll be teaching. There are 6 English teachers, and I will work with each one for around a week. I will be starting in 1st grade! I am very excited to know kind of where I'm going to be. The teacher seemed super nice, so now I'm even more excited than I was.
Leaving my kids here in the states will be hard, though. I have learned SO much from them--and the other teachers--and it won't be the same without them! I'm working on little surprises for each of them for my last day...something to be remembered by. They are also working on pen pal letters for me to bring with me, and I'm really hoping that there are students in Spain that have a high enough English level to write back to them! My 3rd graders have been working so hard on learning about Spain and coming up with good questions to ask a student from Spain, and it would mean a lot to them to have someone write back and answer all of those questions.
I will plan on updating my blog a lot more while I'm in Spain--mainly for my family's sake--but for my own, as well--as a way to document everything that happens! It's hard to believe that the biggest adventure of my life (so far) is just a few days away!
