Let's Get to Know Each Other with A Project!

This year is going to be a challenging one, especially when we are asked to get into a classroom to teach kids we've never seen before, and all we can see is pairs of eyes looking at us as with uncertainty... Cassie Stephens came up with a great idea to help us get to know with each other and feel a bit more comfortable. Plus the kids can revise on vocabulary around character traits! The project is called "Behind my Mask: A Super Kid Self-Portrait" and you can see what it is about in the video below: 




I hope you enjoy it! Let me know if you used it and how it worked 😊

My Teaching Journey in the Greek Public Primary School

It's been a while since the last time I have posted anything on this blog... A lot of changes took place in my life all this time, and one of the most important has been the fact that this year I was hired by the Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs to work as a substitute teacher in primary schools around the area I live in. 

I've been teaching English for 15 years now, but teaching at the Greek Public Primary School is quite a challenge, especially during a pandemic... Having seen the work of some amazing colleagues of mine, I was inspired to keep track of my work, through this blog. Here, I will be posting activities I do with my students, links to pages of educational interest and I'll be sharing my experiences with you. I hope this blog will become a point of reference either for teachers who will be taking this journey for the first time or for experienced ones.

Happy new school year to everyone!
