Valentine’s Day is coming and Kate (one of our Language Assistants) wanted to share one of her favorite books from when she was a child.
This is a cartoon version of the text on YouTube
and is great for right before bedtime.
Don’t forget to tell everyone you love “I love you to the moon and back!” this Valentine’s Day!
Welcome to the first English Corner of 2014! We are currently using the English Corner to advertise our annual Love Letter and Love Poem Contest! While we have usually had it just in the Spanish department, we are also having an English-language competition! Want to enter? Here are the details:
Here’s how you must submit your entry to the contest!
Entries must be on:
THREE DIVISIONS:
DEADLINE: MONDAY 10 FEBRUARY
Our Auxiliar also added a piece of American culture by drawing copies of the Sweetheart candies, a typical Valentine’s Day candy in the USA:
Tweet Me, Sweet Talk, Hug Me
Love Bug, Text Me, Be Mine
As you can tell by the captions, Necco, the company that makes them, uses a combination of classic sayings along with more modern ones like “tweet me” and “text me.”
While the prize for the contest is to be determined, maybe it will be a feature on the blog! Check back later this month and see the results! And please submit!
Until next time!
Hello all,
The English Department at Colegio Fundación Santamarca in Madrid, Spain welcomes you to our English blog! This will be our showcase for all of our English-language programs from Infantil up until Secondary (ESO). We will have a combination of posts from students and teachers, written and visual.
My name is Katherine “Kate” Estabrook, the current Auxiliar de Conversación (Language Assistant) here at Fundación Santamarca. I hope to make a more formal introduction in a later post, but I am originally from New York City (the best and most important place in the USA) and I have jumped at the chance at helping to make the English blog a reality.
I encourage you all to subscribe to our blog via email to stay up-to-date on our new content, and leave comments and suggestions.
Happy reading!
Inglés Fundación Santamarca
