Final Timetable

Anna returned to school today and she said the Comenius Project meeting in Germany went very well and I will hear all about it at the meeting tomorrow at 1PM. We also spoke today about my final schedule (or timetable as they call it here and in Britain). The Mothers and Fathers Association (AMPA) has decided that they would like to pay me to do extra hours in the school so that I can also help with 3rd grade classes. So far I am only going to be with 4th-6th grade. I was also asked to attend Wednesday afternoon music class to help the students with their pronunciation for the English songs they're doing in the musical Grease. The lines are all in Catalan, but the songs are in their original formats. It looks like I may be making an extra 200+ euros per month! :) In addition to the extra four hours per week in the school, I will be doing 3 hours a week of outside instruction: 1 with Montsei, a teacher at the school. One with another teacher, Gisella's children, but this one is just play and talking, because they are 2, 4 and 7 years old. And at last an hour with our landlords' son, Pol, who is 15 years old. I now have a relatively more full schedule!

More good news, although the Catalan classes in Igualada are full, our house is about 15 minutes walking distance to the next town - Vilanova, which may have space. Carles is going to speak with me tomorrow about it. :) Hooray!
