News from our teachers

January has been a blast! It is wonderful to be able to see all my students’ smiling faces again after our short festive season break. The new year has many upcoming challenges, but also things to look forward to.
At the end of January, I celebrated my older sister’s 41st birthday by visiting her home for the weekend. We had a barbeque with friends and family the Friday night, then we went on a day trip to a famous flower garden in our area the next day. We had the opportunity to see and admire the incredible flowers they grow there, like dahlias and hydrangeas, two of my favorite kinds of flowers. My dog, Mika, also has her birthday on the 7th of February. She will turn 3 years old then. I wonder what kind of doggy birthday cake I will bake her?

Until now, I never knew I could love a dog so much! My sisterβs puppy is so cute and definitely stole my heart. Iβve never seen a tail wag so fast in my life! This has made my January a lot of fun and balanced because I have had so much work to keep up with! I had an amazing time in Canada with my family but am ready to return to Greece and get back into my own groove. Iβve really missed the sunshine and warm weather! Spring, here we come!

However, we have been doing some outdoor activities with Mia, as well as meeting friends who came to visit Madrid after many years. Hope the cold weather leaves soon!

“Using technology for multilingual learning: Challenges and opportunities
International Mother Language Day recognizes that languages and multilingualism can advance inclusion, and the Sustainable Development Goalsβ focus on leaving no one behind.Β UNESCOΒ believes education, based on the first language or mother tongue, must begin from the early years as early childhood care and education is the foundation of learning.
Technology has the potential to address some of the greatest challenges in education today. It can accelerate efforts towards ensuring equitable and inclusive lifelong learning opportunities for all if it is guided by the core principles of inclusion and equity. Multilingual education based on mother tongue is a key component of inclusion in education.
During COVID-19 school closures, many countries around the world employed technology-based solutions to maintain continuity of learning. But many learners lacked the necessary equipment, internet access, accessible materials, adapted content, and human support that would have allowed them to follow distance learning. Moreover, distance teaching and learning tools, programmes and content are not always able to reflect language diversity.” read more about this issue by visiting https://www.un.org/en/observances/mother-language-day

“How to celebrate Library Loversβ Month
Love your library for what it is, a community meeting place or treasure trove of ideas. There is so much to be found there, including new books to read and guidance on research with papers you may have due. The people who frequent the library tend to be intellectuals, so who knows what kind of interesting conversations you could get into?
Why not push against the declining attendance of libraries and go and learn something new that will expand your knowledge of who you are, of where you live or what you do?” learn more about how you can contribute to your local library by visiting https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/library-lovers-month/
