work work work--NOT!


So, as a language & culture specialist, I can pretty much do whatever I want. OK-- REWIND for a sec, I work for for the Spanish government, they pay me to go into schools and teach kids English by using American art, gym and science. SO, 2 weeks ago, I decided that I wanted to teach the students how to walk on stilts for gym class, which Americans use as part of our circuses, parades, and all the big events-- you know an American culture-ish thing. THE GOV LOVED THE IDEA! So, they went out and bought a pair of stilts for every student. The next week, we went into the playground and off we went. (I had no idea how to walk on them when I thought about this idea, so I first had to learn-- in 20 minutes I was walking in the street with them.) Pretty soon, all the students were walking around, all about 6 feet tall, it was classic and a great success!

next, we'll make a fairytale book in English for Art class. I need book making materials...

I love this job. I couldn't ask for anything better!
