Hello to all our fellow readers! We have officially landed in Amsterdam and are waiting for our flight to Malaga, which will then be only a short bus ride to Estepona! We are all so excited to begin our journey of student teaching in Spain for the remainder of our fall semester. Lars will be in a middle school English class, Jessica will be in a 5th grade, and Emilie & McKenna are both in 1st grade classrooms. The school is a boarding school, which is taught in English but the students take Spanish classes. The students are mostly from Spain and Britain but also come from a wide range of other countries including Russia, Ireland, and France. Our first day of school is tomorrow (Monday)!!! We know we will be tired, however the excitement and novelty of the school should be enough to put our 7 hour jet lag aside!
One common quote in Spain (something found from Notes in Spanish website) is:
"'Vísteme despacio que tengo prisa' - Dress me slowly, I'm in a hurry!
This apparent contradiction actually makes perfect sense - if you are in a hurry,
it's best to start the day (in this case by getting dressed) very slowly! Then you will be
in the right frame of mind to tackle the busy day and rush that lies ahead!"
We can take on this mentality during our new experiences in Spain!!!
