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.

Cmo todos sabemos el da 23

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

Otra de las actividades que hicimos fue

una experiencia muy divertida!!!
Este curso 2014-2015 la celebracin

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!

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
QUIERO.

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.

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

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!.
