  School If you have  been reading my blog for over 2 years, you know know that I am a teacher. Now if you really read it, you may know that I used to live with a room mate till last December when she got married and moved. You may also know I teach at 2 schools: A language one(all levels), and a elementary one( also all levels).  This year I started teaching at elementary school and it has been a total different thing. I had to learn to deal with people from different ranges of age(3 to 17) and different ways of learning methods. Unfortunately not everyone has the same ideal of learning, so it has made my goal of teaching even more challenging. Once I got used to the scheme and lack of time even to Xanga, I could experience some good things about teaching. Two weeks ago the whole week got concentrated in the preparation of our “Science Presentation”. It is more a kind of a ‘research” presentation. The theme this year is our city, São Paulo, and its ‘faces’. Each grade took a part of the city. As I´m the coordinator of the 3rd High School group( last year in brazil), together with the Geography teacher, we put our minds to the project.  My point here is not to tell much about the work itself, but to show some of the pictures we took from one of the areas we  has to visit. These below is basically Paulista avenue area, one of the most important financial/cultural areas of São Paulo. Hope you enjoy. And by the way… that day, the students( 5 of them), Silvio( geography teacher) and I had lots of fun! I have been learning much by being a teacher. and althought I´m stressed to death, i think it is stil rewarding. I´ll miss that group…. Below, the girls… A brief comparizon of the old and new architecture.. One of the lots of antennas of radio and TV, The green building is a Citibank one. At the Masp museum you can see the exhibition of many pictures and sculptors. High rises…. The white  house is a Bank Boston branch. When it´s Christmas, it is beautifully decorated. Hope you enjoy Shy.
