EDITORIAL

By Almudenahh

Un curso escolar lleno de emociones, de risas, de llantos, de

dificultades y de avances, de prisas y de tiempos que no terminan

De pequeos detalles y de grandes hallazgos

De caras nuevas, de viej@s conocid@s, de equilibrios y de saltos

mortales...

De retos y de miradas al horizonte.

El verdadero placer de educar y de aprender

De soar con los ojos abiertos con ser bilog@, astronauta, maestr@

o granjer@.

Os mostramos tan slo un pedacito de lo que hacemos cada da y de

lo que se cuece en nuestro colegio.

Porque el Amador de los Ros es un colegio integrador,

pasional, inquieto, despierto y que confa en las capacidades y talentos

de profesores/as y alumn@s.

Tmate tu tiempo y djate sorprender por lo que el CUADERNO del

Amador te muestra asmate por la ventana!

CELEBRACIONES EN EL AMADOR

SCHOOL CELEBRATIONS

By Alex & 5thA Students.

The students from 5th grade took part in all the special days we have at the

Amador.

The most celebrated ones where Christmas and The Comic Workshop we did

for the Cultural Week.

At Christmas, 5 grade decided not to sing the typical Christmas carol but a

very popular song with a pacifist message

Imagine by John Lennon. Anderson

from 5A thinks it was a beautiful song

but he sometimes feels a bit shy singing in

front of people but after a while he felt

relaxed and people took photos so that he

will remember the day forever. Alexandra

from 5A also felt shy at first but then

she got over her fear and felt excited. Nico

however, comments on the songs author.

He thinks John Lennon was a genius and his song Imagine is about peace and a

wonderful world and he listens to it when he feels sad at home!

However, some people, like Elena, thought it was a nice song but she would

have liked to have a little dancing (so next year, Madonna!).

Pg

The Comic Workshop was a complete success! Miguel from 5A thought it was

the most exciting activity he had ever done! It

was fun and different to be free to go from one

class to another without following teachers

orders. Some of the guys have chosen the

workshop called Por parejas as the best one.

Since I took part in this workshop I read more

comics, says Elena from 5A. However,

Paula and Natalia think that the most

enjoyable and surprising was

Anticriptonite where students had to

design a material able to protect

Superman from criptonite!

The general feeling is that we

should do more workshops next year

and that it was great to work

together with students from other

classes and grades I became

friends with people Id never thought

I would- says Manuel.

lectura.

Hoy, este da 23 de Abril se celebra en todo el mundo, como el da del libro

Y LLEGA LA DESPEDIDA

By Elena, Mila & Alumnado de 6AB

L@s alumno/as de 6 ya nos dejan. Despus de nueve aos en este cole, llega el

momento de la despedida. Los pasillos, las aulas, los patios de este cole los han visto

rer, discutir, reconciliarse, aprender, correr, gritar, soar. Crecer. Les espera una

etapa maravillosa en el instituto, pero saben que aqu pueden volver siempre que

quieran porque son parte del Amador de los Ros. Mucha suerte a todos/as.

Hasta pronto!

TRES AOS INOLVIDABLES

By Alexa Caravan. 6B

Tena nueve aos cuando

entr por primera vez

por las puertas del

colegio Amador de los

Ros. Tena mucho miedo:

no saba hablar en

espaol muy bien;

entonces fue muy difcil

entender a los dems.

Sin embargo hice buenos

amigos y tengo recuerdos

divertidos que nunca

podr olvidar. Siempre

me pareci que el colegio

Amador de los Ros es

muy bonito. Desde el

primer ao hasta ahora

he tenido profesores

estupendos.

Con el tiempo me hice

ms amigos y empec a

sentirme como si fuera

parte de este colegio, o

sea, empec a sentirme

aceptada, aceptada por

todo el mundo que ahora

est en mi lbum de

memorias donde puedo

recordar a todos mis

amigos y profesores. No

me puedo olvidar de las

clases de Educacin

Fsica, donde jugamos, y

esa es una de mis cosas

favoritas.

En este colegio aprend

que uno tiene mejores

cosas que hacer que

escuchar a las personas

que quieren machacarle.

Somos todos diferentes y

no tenemos que cambiar

para los dems. No le

puedes caer bien a todo

el mundo pero siempre

va a haber al menos una

persona que te acepte

por quien eres. Gracias,

Amador de los Ros, por

estos tres aos

inolvidables!

MIS RECUERDOS DEL COLE

By Nicols Yglesia, 6A

Cuando fui a la jornada de puertas abiertas, el cole me encant; lo primero,

porque estaba cerqusima de mi casa y, segundo, porque me caus muy buena

sensacin y, aunque saba que solo iba a estar un ao y medio, decid que ese iba a ser

mi cole.

El primer da fue el mejor: conoc a mis compaeros, a mis profesores y, en s,

al colegio. Todos me acogieron muy bien, son unos grandes amigos y doy gracias a

todos ellos por acogerme tan bien.

He tenido muchos profesores y me alegro mucho de haberlos tenido pues, si no

hubiese sido as, no habra aprendido tanto. Todos mis profesores han sido: Paloma,

Lauro, Mercedes, M Jess, David, Jos Antonio, Mara, Elena y Mila. Y todos ellos

estn en un hueco de mi corazn, pero ms especialmente, los que he tenido en sexto

curso.

Lo que yo me llevo del Amador de los Ros, adems de todos mis conocimientos,

son los valores que he aprendido sobre la convivencia, los buenos recuerdos de los

recreos y unos grandes amigos. Con el Amador he crecido mucho exterior e

interiormente gracias a todos y, adems de eso, me llevo la gran persona en la que

me he y han convertido. Voy a echar de menos todo pero especialmente a las/os

profesoras/es y tambin a todos los amigos que estn en cursos anteriores. Gracias,

Amador de los Ros!

By Candela del Barrio, 6B

Yo vena de Segovia; all solo hice Infantil pero no tena amigos/as. Luego,

a principios de 2009, me traslad a Madrid. Una vez aqu, estuvimos buscando un

cole y este me encant, as que me quise quedar y hacer Primaria.

El colegio es una de las cosas que ms se quedan grabadas en nuestro corazn y

mente:

CORAZN: TENEMOS AMIGOS/AS Y PROFES Y LOS QUEREMOS.

MENTE: POR TODO LO QUE HEMOS APRENDIDO

Para aprender bien hay que buscar el sitio perfecto y yo bien que acert; escog

el Amador de los Ros porque era grande, luminoso, bonito, etc. En Primero no tena

amigas, pero ese tiempo me hizo reflexionar acerca de mis dudas e inquietudes sobre

el cole.

Me da pena marcharme, ojal hubiese ms cursos! Este colegio me ha enseado

a afrontar las dificultades y a aprender que las cosas llegan cuando menos te lo

esperas. I Amador de los Ros.

Agradecimientos:

A este cole por existir, a los/as profesores/as y a la enseanza. Y, cmo no, a

lvaro, Valeria, Jose, Valentina, Nico, Geor, Galo, Nohaila, Salim, Alexa, Qiu,

Massimo, Li Xin, Aarn, Gaby y Paveli por apoyarme en los momentos difciles. OS

SENSACIONES

By Carlo Cabrera, 6 A

Llegu a este

colegio con tres aos.

El primer da conoc a

mucha gente que me

cay genial como, por

ejemplo Nando,

Herwig, Luis, Moe,

Sabela, Araceli y

Daniel. No recuerdo

muchas cosas de

Infantil, pero me

acuerdo de cuando

fuimos a la granja y

montamos en burro.

Luego, en Primaria,

llegaron ms

compaeros, como

Sara, Artur, Jennifer,

Daniel, Nico y

Emerson.

Mis profesores/as

han sido muy

buenos/as. Mis

profesoras favoritas

son Mila (Ingls y

Ciencias) y Consuelo,

de Lengua y

Matemticas. Me

gust mucho su

mtodo de enseanza.

Adems de los

temas de cada

asignatura, en el

colegio he aprendido

los valores de la

convivencia, de la

amistad, y del respeto

mutuo. He pasado un

tiempo excelente aqu,

en las aulas y en los

recreos y lo voy a

echar muchsimo de

menos.

INTERVIEWS

Since 6thB grade is graduating from Amador de los Ros this year, the students

were asked their opinions about the schools bilingual program.

How do you feel the bilingual program will help you in the future?

Candela and Alexa: I think it is good to be in a bilingual school because in the

future I will have more opportunities to find a good job. English is the most

spoken language and its requested for most jobs.

Galo: I think that English can help me in the future because it is spoken by a

lot of people and if you know a lot of English you will have more

opportunities.

What do you like the most about the program?

Massimo: What I like most about the program is how the teachers help us

learn English, and sometimes we play games to help us remember the

grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.

Valentina: English is my favorite language so I like that science is taught in

English because in my other school it was taught in Spanish.

Alexa: I joined this program in the 4th grade and I didnt know how to spell,

but now I do great in school and I also like that we do many subjects in

English.

Would you recommend the program to future students?

Salim: I would recommend the program to future students because its a

bilingual school and you learn a lot of different subjects in English such as

Science, English and Art.

Pg

3

lvaro: I dont recommend the program to future students because if you like

Science but you dont like English, you will have to study in English.

Massimo: I would recommend the program because if you know a lot of

languages it is very good for you and your future. Right now, many people

dont have a job because they dont know English and this program will help

me find a job more easily.

Galo: I feel very lucky to be in the program, because a few years ago Spains

English level was very low and they didnt understand the language. Now,

because of the program, a lot of people can speak English.

Do you enjoy English?

Salim: I enjoy English because it opens a lot of opportunities in the future. I

like English because most people in the world speak English, and if I want to go

to the USA, Canada or England I need to speak English and it will be useful for

me.

Qiu: I enjoy English very much because I learn more grammar and verbs that

I didnt know before.

Nohaila: I enjoy English a lot because the teachers do presentations to help us

with grammar and we read books with the assistants to improve our

pronunciation. The teachers also play games so we learn more vocabulary.

Galo: I enjoy English because it is an interesting language because the

grammar is very fun and the more you know English, the better you can do in

the future. I also can use it to speak in many countries.

What do you think about the teachers in the bilingual program?

Jos I think the teachers are good because they are very nice to the pupils.

Pg

Aarn: I think the teachers are good because they help us with our doubts and

they motivate us.

Georgiana: I think that the teachers really want to help us learn and they

want us to have fun while learning.

What do you think is the most difficult thing about the program?

Candela: I think the most difficult thing about the program is speaking in

English because I have to pronounce perfectly.

Aarn: For me, the reading and writing part of the KET was the most

difficult because you have to find the answers and put them on the answer

sheet but it is very hard."

lvaro: The most difficult thing for me is the grammar because we have to

learn the verbs and memorize the verb tenses.

Do you think in the future the school should offer more languages?

Salim: I think in the future its a good idea for the school to offer more

languages such as French and Chinese.

Valeria: I only know Spanish and English but I dont know other languages, so

I would like to learn others.

Alexa: I think that English is quite tricky especially in spelling, so I think its

enough and we should only learn this language in Primary School but learn

more in Middle School.

Massimo: I think they should provide more languages because in the future you

dont know what job you will do and the things that you need to know for the

job. For example, if a job requires me to know German and I dont know the

language, I wouldnt be able to do the job.

Do you think your English has improved during the program?

Candela: Yes I think my English has improved because I have learned a lot of

vocabulary, grammar and other things.

Jos: I think my English has improved because I remember that when I was 8

years old my English was worse and now I have a very good level.

Valeria: I think my English has improved because my teacher has helped me a

lot. When I was little I didnt speak English well and now I can maintain a

conversation.

Galo: I think that my English has improved because language assistants from

other countries came to help the program and now I can go to some countries

and help my family to understand English.

Are you looking forward to leaving the school?

Candela: I dont want to leave the school because I have a lot of friends and I

like this school.

Galo: I am looking forward to leaving the school because I want to go to High

School and be in the advanced English class.

Alexa: I have mixed feelings about leaving this school because I have many

great memories with my friends and teachers but on the other hand I want to

learn more things.

How did your teachers help you learn English?

Candela: They helped a lot because they wanted to help us and they helped

me with grammar by doing exercises in the notebook or games with

vocabulary.

Galo: I think that the teachers helped us speak English by helping us with the

past, present and future tenses.

Do you think learning Science in English is a good idea?

Valentina: Yes its a good idea because it helps with English because we learn

how to write and use more complex words related to science.

Alexa: It also has its disadvantages because in the CDI we have to do the exam

in Spanish, but luckily our teachers make sure that we understand the material

in Spanish too.

Nico: I think it is important to do Science in English because I think the things

that you learn in Science you will use in real life, and I think most scientists do

their job in English.

If you could change one thing about the bilingual program, what would it be?

Qiu: I would change music because in Spanish it is almost too easy and I would

like to try it in English.

Alexa: I think there should be more assistants because we could hear different

accents and learn traditions from different places around the world. For

example, we have had British, American, New Zealand and Canadian

assistants, but we have never had Scottish or Irish.

How does your family feel about your participation in the bilingual program?

Georgiana: I think that my family is very happy with me because English and

Science are the most important subjects and in High School these classes will be

helpful when I learn other subjects.

Nohaila: My family is very happy with me because they know that I am good

at English and they are proud of me for all of my effort.

Having finished the KET/PET exams, what are your feelings?

Nohaila: I feel good because I know that I did it well with my partner and I

think I have given it my all.

Valentina: I feel very nervous because the examiners were very strict and I am

worried about my mark because I have only been in this program for two

years.

Valeria: I feel very good because I did my speaking part with my two friends

and they helped me by making me feel more comfortable.

lvaro: I feel comfortable because I think that I did it very well and we have

been preparing the exam since the beginning of year 5.

Do you think it is a good idea to have language assistants in Bilingual Schools?

Candela: I think it is good to have assistants because you can learn from them

and improve your pronunciation.

Salim: I think its a good idea to have assistants in the schools because you

learn about how they speak in their countries and their different cultures.

The students in 6A worked very hard to perform a play called The Crazy

Story at Christmas and in various competitions through the year. They were

interviewed about the process and their feelings upon performing in the final

competition.

Do you like acting and why?

Carlo: No, I dont like acting because I get very nervous when a lot of people

see me and it is very stressful.

Nando: Yes, I like acting, but not a lot because I think Im not a very good

actor and sometimes I get nervous. However, I think when I try hard I get

more confident and I do a good job.

Pg

Moe: I like acting when I am on the stage all the time because I get more

confident. If I only act for a little bit though, I get more nervous.

What do you like about theatre?

Nico: The thing that I like about the theatre is that you can enjoy learning

how to perform a play. I like listening and seeing plays because I think its very

fun.

Artur: The only thing I like about the theatre is that all of our classmates can

participate in the play and I think its very fun because we always laugh and

help each other.

Jenny: I like the decorations and the music. I also really enjoyed making

scenery for the stage and performing my character.

What do you think about introducing theatre as an extracurricular activity in

schools?

Nando: I think its a good idea but I think it would be best to have a theatre

subject in the school because all the classes could do performances for

Christmas or the end of the year because it is a good idea for people who

would like to be actors.

Sara: I think making theatre an extracurricular activity would be very good

because maybe they could have specialized teachers and all the people who

want to enter could go, instead of making everyone do it. I think doing theatre

in the school could be good if we did it in English and I think it would be better

if they did it by levels of difficulty. For example, the first level would be doing a

very short performance and the last level would be a longer performance.

Sabela: I think performing plays in school is a good idea because its fun.

However, I think it would be better to spend more time practicing the play or

maybe for other students to invent their own play.

Pg

Nico: I have been in an extracurricular theatre class before but it was in

Spanish and I enjoy it more in English. I think it would be a very good idea to

do it all year and all students should perform.

Herwig: I think that it would be a good idea for the school because we would

be speaking a lot and if we could buy decorations the play would be even

better.

Moe: I think that doing a play is a very good idea. If the play is in English, I

think it is better because we are in a bilingual school and it would improve our

English. Also, with the decorations I think it would be better making them

ourselves because it would be more fun and it lets us use our imagination.

What was it like to perform in front of the entire school?

Nando: I was very nervous because I felt ridiculous in my costume and I

thought other people would laugh when I entered the stage. However, when

Spiderman and Batman entered the stage and the audience laughed at them, I

felt better because if they could perform without being nervous, I could too.

Lucas: Acting in front of the entire school was so difficult because I get so

nervous, but then I relaxed because I was wearing a mask and they couldnt see

my face. When the audience cant see your face I think you get less nervous

and more confident.

Luis: When I was on the stage, I was very concentrated playing the xylophone

so I felt very good.

Herwig: When I entered the stage I was very concentrated, but when I saw all

the children laughing and thinking we were so funny I thought that my

costume was very ridiculous.

What did you like most about The Crazy Story?

Daniel O. : I liked the play because the characters didnt make sense when

they were speaking. Also, the scenery was very nice, because we put a lot of

effort into painting and making the decorations.

Carlo: The thing I liked most about the play was when Batman and

Spiderman entered because it was very funny and unexpected.

What do you think you could have improved to make The Crazy Story even

better?

Lucas: I think that we could have taken out the music and added more

characters for the musicians. Also, the characters who had less lines could be

given more.

Arthur: I think we could improve the play by improving our pronunciation.

Our costumes were good but we needed to concentrate more on our lines.

What was it like to prepare the scenery and decorations for the play?

Nico: I think it was very fun because we made our own decorations and could

choose what we wanted to put in the scenery.

Sabela: It was fun but also a little difficult because we had to spend our break

time to make everything.

Did you like your character in the Crazy Story and why?

Sara: No, I didnt like my character because I felt it was very childish and

Little Red Riding Hood only had very short lines and the costume was difficult

to find.

Emerson: Yes, I liked my character because I had very short lines and it was a

wolf that didnt hurt anybody. I was happy that my character was peaceful.

Artur: I liked my character but it was challenging for me to act like a pig

with my friends because I dont like looking like a pig.

Pg

Moe: I liked being the narrator because I spoke a lot and I think my lines were

very funny because the characters kept interrupting me.

Daniel O. : My character was one of the Three Little Pigs. I think it was very

creative because I got to do a lot of things with my friends and it was very

fun.

What was the most difficult part about performing the play?

Sabela: I think the most difficult part was that at first we were a little shy

but then we got more confident.

Nando: I think that the most difficult part of performing the play was

learning the role. I only had two sentences but I was always confusing the

words because I was getting nervous. If for me it was difficult to learn those

lines, I think for the narrators it must have been very hard because they had a

lot more to learn.

Was it difficult to memorize all the songs and play the instruments?

Carlo: Yes it was a little bit difficult because none of us had played the

xylophone and we needed to learn.

Daniel C. : I really enjoyed learning to play the new instruments.

Araceli: I enjoyed playing the instrument because I liked the music.

Was the play funny?

Herwig: Yes, the play was funny because I liked the Three Little Pigs and I

enjoyed myself a lot.

Daniel O. : It was very funny because there were a lot of characters and the

story was silly. My character, the pig, did a lot of funny things.

Did you win any prize in the theatre competition?

Carlo: No, we didnt win any prizes but we have just participated in another

competition and the judges said we did a great job, so there is hope.

Emerson: No, we didnt win any prizes because it was our first time

performing in a competition but we did a great job and are so proud of

ourselves for doing the play.

Herwig: Even though we didnt win, I think we did so well and I liked

everything about our performance.

Sara: We didnt win a prize, but the best prize was in our hearts because

participating was so special.

Why did you choose this play?

Jenny: We chose the play because it was funny and entertaining.

Ariadna: We chose this play because we could easily add more characters so

everybody had a chance to participate.

What inspired you to add more characters to the original script?

Sara: We were inspired by the people who didnt have a role in the play

because we wanted to be fair. For example, we added Cinderella because she is

so different from the rest of the characters and her story is very famous.

Lucas: We added more characters because the play was so short and when a

play for people our age is too short, it could be boring. We added more

characters to make it more interesting.

Did everybody have a role in the performance?

Nando: The first time we performed at Christmas not everyone had a role.

However, later we had more time to add characters and musicians and then

everyone had a role.

Pg

Sabela: Yes, and in different performances we changed our characters so we

could all be happy with our roles. We also added new characters along the

way.

Did you buy all the costumes and decorations?

Ariadna: No, we didnt buy everything because it wasnt necessary. Some

people had things to lend to the performance such as the costumes and the

props.

Were your lines difficult to memorize and deliver?

Lucas: My lines were easy to memorize because they were very short but I

think that other characters, like the narrator, spoke a lot and it was more

difficult for them.

Artur: No, I didnt have any problems but I thought my lines were difficult

because the Three Little Pigs needed to speak at the same time and we needed

to learn the characters song and dance.

How do you feel as the director about your students performance?

Mila: I am very proud of my students because they have worked really hard as

a group and their level of English and pronunciation is great. We are very

grateful to Amy who helped us a lot during practice. I encourage other teachers

to do plays with their students.

Almudenahh: It is a pleasure to share this king of experiences with the

students! Thanks a million for your collaboration and your enthusiasm!

MEMORIES

NOTES FROM THE CORRIDOR

FIRST YEAR AUXILIAR REVEALS LIFE

OF THE FIRST AND SECOND GRADE

CORRIDOR

By Nora Salle

AMADOR DE LOS RIOS, MADRID When I

first arrived at Amador de los Rios, I couldnt

believe what well-mannered first a find second

graders this school had. Theyre sweet, I told

my family in the United States, but I still dont

know them very well.

Now, nine months, six excursions, and many

unsolved pencil disappearances later, I know for a fact that the students of the first

and second grade corridor are destined for big things around the school in the

coming years.

The fist realization of this was during our Halloween festivities in October

where I was scared witless by the ghouls and goblins slinking about the hallway. I

still am not sure if these were in fact real creatures from the great beyond of the six

and seven year olds Ive gotten to know so well.

Another notable holiday experience was of course the Christmas Pageant where

I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become Mariah Carrey and work hand-

in-hand with the great Harry Styles. Harry and I were so blown away by the likes

Pg

ina5

of all of Amador de los Rios students that afternoon. Who knew that such intellect

and musical charisma could be so abounding in one school!

Apart from the obvious holiday

highlights, the day-to-day of The Corridor is

an every-advancing environment. As and

English Auxiliar, I have noticed such a drastic

difference in the way the students greet me.

At first I had a lot of Hello, Miss Nora,

and How are you?, but now, to my absolute

delight, I get to talk to my young new friends

from this year about their lives. I know about

hobbies and friends and favourites of any

imaginable category imaginable. I had no idea

before how popular Judo was amongst second

graders or how much the first grade students like pizza.

As summer nears, Im sure to the dismay of the students, I find myself looking

forward to a few important things:

1) For Trinity testing to finally come to a close

2) To hear, in detail, about where everyone is going this summer and what

exiting things theyre going to do

3) To think about the fun ahead of us next year when everyone is a little taller,

a little tanner and obviously ready to return to The Corridor.

MY EXPERIENCE AT AMADOR DE LOS ROS

By Clare

At the start of my job working as

a Language and Cultural Assistant here

at Amador de los Ros, I was incredibly

nervous.

I didnt really know what to

expect from the teachers,

administrative team or the students.

However, everyone was truly

understanding of my transition, and I

was welcomed with open arms.

The students, teachers and I have

really become close. I think of Amador

de los Rios as another family, and my

home away from home. We all have

been able to learn from each other.

The students and teachers have taught me so much about the Spanish culture

and lifestyle, and Ive been able to teach them about the United States and the

English language.

I learned so much about myself from this teaching experience that I would not

have had at a different school in Madrid. I have grown a real love for Amador de los

Ros and am so excited to be able to have the opportunity to teach here again next

year!

MY YEAR WITH AMADOR DE LOS RIOS

By Joe Patch

Despite my size and age, in reality I am just a big kid. So when I came to

Amador de los Rios I think I caused a bit of surprise when I ran into the playground

and started playing football with first grade. Obviously my job was not to play

football (although I wish it was) but it was to teach the students English and it is an

experience I have enjoyed hugely since I arrived. They are all hard-working and

enthusiastic and they have been an extremely positive aspect of my time abroad.

I have some moments that will stick with me for a lifetime such as the

celebration of San Isidro (and wearing my very own "Chulapo"), my performance as

"Harry Styles" in the Christmas performance

and the reaction of the school when my

twin brother visited. It was a real pleasure to

show my brother around the school and I

know that he was very impressed by the

English of all the students as they asked him

questions and displayed their talents for conversation.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the teachers at this school and it is

clear to me that the pupils are very lucky to have such a dedicated group of people

helping them learn not only the English language, but also the skills and knowledge

that they'll need later in life.

I know that Amador de los Rios has been involved in the "auxiliares de

conversacion" programme for a while now and that they have welcomed English

speakers from the United States, Canada and even New Zealand and although the

United Kingdom may not be the most exotic of backgrounds, I hope that they will

carry on practicing their English long into the future and that I have made as good

an impression on everyone I have worked with as they have on me.

MY MEMORIES FROM AMADOR DE LOS ROS

By Amy Berg

After two wonderful years at Amador de Los Ros, I can honestly say that I am

really going to miss it. The teachers are caring and helpful and the students always

manage to put a smile on my face! Amador de los Ros not only teaches the students

through lessons, but also through fun cultural or festive activities that the students

are sure to remember for the rest of their lives. The following are my favorite

memories from my time at this school.

Halloween:

One of my favorite things to do with the students at Amador de los Ros was

sharing my culture with them. One example of this cultural exchange was our

Halloween celebration this year. All of the Language Assistants took the time during

the day to teach the students about the history and traditions of that day, and then

the students took part in mask making, pumpkin decorating and the "Creepy

Stations." During this activity, students reached into a bag without looking and

touched food that was chosen to feel like different body parts (example, grapes for

eyes). The students really got silly and excited about the activity and even connected

their learning to science and new vocabulary!

The Christmas Performances:

Last year, I worked closely with the fifth graders on their performance of

Mariah Careys All I Want for Christmas. In the beginning, as I was looking for the

best song to sing, I was told that this would be too difficult for young children to

memorize. However, I knew that they could do it and they didnt let me down! They

worked very hard to learn not only the words, but their meanings and I could hear

them practicing throughout the day (even at recess on their own!). Their dedication

paid off when they gave their wonderful performance in front of friends and family.

Pg

ina6

2

This year, I got to hear the fifth graders practice John Lennons beautiful song

about peace, Imagine. They too worked so hard with Alexs guidance and gave a

great performance! I know one of the things I remember most about my school days

when I was a child were the school performances, so am sure the work the teachers

are doing with the students will be remembered forever.

Field Trips:

During these two years I was lucky enough to go on various excursions with the

fifth and sixth graders. It is so rewarding to see the students take their learning out

of the classroom and apply it in the real world. Last year, I celebrated Spanish

Constitution Day with the fifth graders by going to Plaza de Coln and learning

about the Constitution. We got to see a fun movie on a huge domed screen and they

even gave us free flags and mini versions of the Constitution! This year I have gone

on many museum field trips with the fifth graders including the Archaeological,

Natural Sciences and Marine museums. I think I had just as much fun as the students

learning about the different art, history, and anthropology in the museums and was

so fortunate to be able to accompany them.

"The Crazy Story"

Finally, one of my favorite memories at Amador de los Ros was working with

the sixth graders on their play, "The Crazy Story" this year. We started in December

working on character development, pronunciation and decorations. They performed

three different times during the year and each time they improved, adding new

characters, decorations and costumes. Performing the play not only helped with

their English, but with their confidence as well!

This is my last year at Amador de los Ros but I will always remember my

wonderful time here and plan to continue visiting the teachers and students in the

future whenever I get the chance. The students here are very lucky to have such a

great school and I am sure that after such a fun year, they know it as well!.
