EDITORIAL By Almudenahh Un curso escolar lleno de emociones, de risas, de llantos, de dificultades y de avances, de prisas y de tiempos que no terminan… De pequeños detalles y de grandes hallazgos… De caras nuevas, de viej@s conocid@s, de equilibrios y de saltos mortales... De retos y de miradas al horizonte. El verdadero placer de educar y de aprender… De soñar con los ojos abiertos con ser biólog@, astronauta, maestr@ o granjer@. Os mostramos tan sólo un pedacito de lo que hacemos cada día y de lo que se “cuece” en nuestro colegio. Porque el

L@s alumn@s de 5 años escriben unas palabras de agradecimiento a Paula y le hacen un dibujo. Paula es la profesora de Apoyo de Educación Infantil, y cada día colabora con todas las profesoras de Infantil en el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje de nuestros niños. os niños de 5 años ya son capaces de leer y escribir, porque han trabajado muy duro desde que comenzaron la etapa de Infantil, con tan solo 3 años. Este curso se han esforzado muchísimo y a la vista está con sus impresionantes trabajos. También han madurado como personas, valorando el trabajo y la ayuda de las personas que les rodean. De ahí, este trabajo de agradecimiento a Paula. Disfrutan con la lectura y cada día mejoran.

ACTIVIDADES QUE MÁS ME HAN GUSTADO. En este curso hemos hecho muchas actividades divertidas y diferentes, por ejemplo fuimos al museo antropológico y me gustó muchísimo ver todas las cosas de Grecia y Roma. También la semana cultural que íbamos mezclados en grupos con niños de otras clases haciendo talleres de máscaras, cómics etc. Lo pasamos de miedo, hasta hubo cine con palomitas. Bailamos el chotis en san Isidro, salimos a la sierra aunque pasamos muchísimo calor y ahora estoy
paso muy bien. Además hemos aprendido mucho en estos años pero sobre todo este último ya que es un curso más alto. Hemos tenido unos profesores muy buenos, nuestra tutora Carmen, David, Jose, Almudena, una profesora que se fue y era muy maja, María y luego vino Elena que también lo es y Mª Jesús. Me ha gustado mucho el día de la paz, el museo antropológico, los talleres del cómic y la visita al Museo Lunar. ¡El año que viene espero estar de nuevo con todos! Virginia.

CELEBRACIONES EN EL AMADOR SCHOOL CELEBRATIONS By Alex & 5thA Students. The students from 5th grade took part in all the special days we have at the Amador. The most celebrated ones where Christmas and The Comic Workshop we did for the Cultural Week. At Christmas, 5º grade decided not to sing the typical Christmas carol but a very popular song with a pacifist message
–
“Imagine” by John Lennon. Anderson from 5ºA thinks it was a beautiful song but he sometimes feels a bit shy singing in front of people but after a while he felt relaxed and people took photos so that he will remember the day forever. Alexandra from 5ºA also felt shy at first but then she got over her fear and felt excited. Nico however, comments on the song’s author. He thinks John Lennon was a genius and his song Imagine is about peace and a
However, some people, like Elena, thought it was a nice song but she would have liked to have a little dancing (so next year, Madonna!).

wonderful world and he listens to it when he feels sad at home!
The Comic Workshop was a complete success! Miguel from 5ºA thought it was the most exciting activity he had ever done! It was fun and different to be free to go from one class to another without following teachers´ orders. Some of the guys have chosen the workshop called “Por parejas” as the best one. “Since I took part in this workshop I read more comics,” says Elena from 5ºA. However, Paula and Natalia think that the most enjoyable and surprising was “Anticriptonite” where students had to design a material able to protect Superman from criptonite!
The general feeling is that we should do more workshops next year and that it was great to work together with students from other classes and grades – “I became

Podrás verlos y seguirlos en la web del centro con la etiqueta #megustaleer Tod@s l@s alumn@s del colegio tuvimos que hacer un marcapáginas que después se intercambiaron por las clases.

Y LLEGA LA DESPEDIDA By Elena, Mila & Alumnado de 6ªAB L@s alumno/as de 6º ya nos dejan. Después de nueve años en este cole, llega el momento de la despedida. Los pasillos, las aulas, los patios de este cole los han visto reír, discutir, reconciliarse, aprender, correr, gritar, soñar…. Crecer. Les espera una etapa maravillosa en el instituto, pero saben que aquí pueden volver siempre que quieran porque son parte del Amador de los Ríos. Mucha suerte a todos/as. ¡Hasta pronto!

MIS RECUERDOS DEL COLE By Nicolás Yglesia, 6ºA Cuando fui a la jornada de puertas abiertas, el cole me encantó; lo primero, porque estaba cerquísima de mi casa y, segundo, porque me causó muy buena sensación y, aunque sabía que solo iba a estar un año y medio, decidí que ese iba a ser mi cole.
El primer día fue el mejor: conocí a mis compañeros, a mis profesores y, en sí, al colegio. Todos me acogieron muy bien, son unos grandes amigos y doy gracias a todos ellos por acogerme tan bien.
He tenido muchos profesores y me alegro mucho de haberlos tenido pues, si no hubiese sido así, no habría aprendido tanto. Todos mis profesores han sido: Paloma, Lauro, Mercedes, Mª Jesús, David, José Antonio, María, Elena y Mila. Y todos ellos están en un hueco de mi corazón, pero más especialmente, los que he tenido en sexto curso.
Lo que yo me llevo del Amador de los Ríos, además de todos mis conocimientos, son los valores que he aprendido sobre la convivencia, los buenos recuerdos de los recreos y unos grandes amigos. Con el Amador he crecido mucho exterior e interiormente gracias a todos y, además de eso, me llevo la gran persona en la que me he y han convertido. Voy a echar de menos todo pero especialmente a las/os
Amador de los Ríos!

profesoras/es y también a todos los amigos que están en cursos anteriores. ¡Gracias,
By Candela del Barrio, 6ºB Yo venía de Segovia; allí solo hice Infantil pero no tenía amigos/as. Luego, a principios de 2009, me trasladé a Madrid. Una vez aquí, estuvimos buscando un cole y este me encantó, así que me quise quedar y hacer Primaria.
El colegio es una de las cosas que más se quedan grabadas en nuestro corazón y mente: CORAZÓN: TENEMOS AMIGOS/AS Y PROFES Y LOS QUEREMOS. MENTE: POR TODO LO QUE HEMOS APRENDIDO Para aprender bien hay que buscar el sitio perfecto y yo bien que acerté; escogí el Amador de los Ríos porque era grande, luminoso, bonito, etc. En Primero no tenía amigas, pero ese tiempo me hizo reflexionar acerca de mis dudas e inquietudes sobre el cole. Me da pena marcharme, ¡ojalá hubiese más cursos! Este colegio me ha enseñado a afrontar las dificultades y a aprender que las cosas llegan cuando menos te lo esperas. I ❤Amador de los Ríos.

INTERVIEWS Since 6thB grade is graduating from Amador de los Ríos this year, the students were asked their opinions about the school´s bilingual program. How do you feel the bilingual program will help you in the future? Candela and Alexa: “I think it is good to be in a bilingual school because in the
future I will have more opportunities to find a good job. English is the most spoken language and it´s requested for most jobs.” Galo: “I think that English can help me in the future because it is spoken by a
lot of people and if you know a lot of English you will have more opportunities.” What do you like the most about the program? Massimo: “What I like most about the program is how the teachers help us
learn English, and sometimes we play games to help us remember the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.” Valentina: “English is my favorite language so I like that science is taught in
English because in my other school it was taught in Spanish.” Alexa: “I joined this program in the 4th grade and I didn´t know how to spell,
but now I do great in school and I also like that we do many subjects in English.”
Salim: “I would recommend the program to future students because it’s a
bilingual school and you learn a lot of different subjects in English such as Science, English and Art.”
Página42
Would you recommend the program to future students?
Álvaro: “I don’t recommend the program to future students because if you like
Science but you don’t like English, you will have to study in English.” Massimo: “I would recommend the program because if you know a lot of
languages it is very good for you and your future. Right now, many people don’t have a job because they don´t know English and this program will help me find a job more easily.” Galo: “I feel very lucky to be in the program, because a few years ago Spain´s
English level was very low and they didn´t understand the language. Now, because of the program, a lot of people can speak English.” Do you enjoy English? Salim: “I enjoy English because it opens a lot of opportunities in the future. I
like English because most people in the world speak English, and if I want to go to the USA, Canada or England I need to speak English and it will be useful for me.” Qiu: “I enjoy English very much because I learn more grammar and verbs that I didn´t know before.” Nohaila: “I enjoy English a lot because the teachers do presentations to help us
with grammar and we read books with the assistants to improve our pronunciation. The teachers also play games so we learn more vocabulary.” Galo: “I enjoy English because it is an interesting language because the
grammar is very fun and the more you know English, the better you can do in
What do you think about the teachers in the bilingual program? José “I think the teachers are good because they are very nice to the pupils.”

Aarón: “I think the teachers are good because they help us with our doubts and
they motivate us.” Georgiana: “I think that the teachers really want to help us learn and they
want us to have fun while learning.” What do you think is the most difficult thing about the program? Candela: “I think the most difficult thing about the program is speaking in
English because I have to pronounce perfectly.” Aarón: “For me, the reading and writing part of the KET was the most
difficult because you have to find the answers and put them on the answer sheet but it is very hard." Álvaro: “The most difficult thing for me is the grammar because we have to
learn the verbs and memorize the verb tenses.” Do you think in the future the school should offer more languages? Salim: “I think in the future it’s a good idea for the school to offer more
languages such as French and Chinese.” Valeria: “I only know Spanish and English but I don´t know other languages, so
I would like to learn others.” Alexa: “I think that English is quite tricky especially in spelling, so I think it´s
enough and we should only learn this language in Primary School but learn more in Middle School.” Massimo: “I think they should provide more languages because in the future you

Do you think your English has improved during the program? Candela: “Yes I think my English has improved because I have learned a lot of
vocabulary, grammar and other things.” José: “I think my English has improved because I remember that when I was 8
years old my English was worse and now I have a very good level.” Valeria: “I think my English has improved because my teacher has helped me a
lot. When I was little I didn´t speak English well and now I can maintain a conversation.” Galo: “I think that my English has improved because language assistants from
other countries came to help the program and now I can go to some countries and help my family to understand English.” Are you looking forward to leaving the school? Candela: “I don´t want to leave the school because I have a lot of friends and I
like this school.” Galo: “I am looking forward to leaving the school because I want to go to High
School and be in the advanced English class.” Alexa: “I have mixed feelings about leaving this school because I have many
great memories with my friends and teachers but on the other hand I want to learn more things.” How did your teachers help you learn English? Candela: “They helped a lot because they wanted to help us and they helped
vocabulary.” Galo: “I think that the teachers helped us speak English by helping us with the
past, present and future tenses.”

Do you think learning Science in English is a good idea? Valentina: “Yes it’s a good idea because it helps with English because we learn
how to write and use more complex words related to science.” Alexa: “It also has its disadvantages because in the CDI we have to do the exam
in Spanish, but luckily our teachers make sure that we understand the material in Spanish too.” Nico: “I think it is important to do Science in English because I think the things
that you learn in Science you will use in real life, and I think most scientists do their job in English.” If you could change one thing about the bilingual program, what would it be? Qiu: “I would change music because in Spanish it is almost too easy and I would
like to try it in English.” Alexa: “I think there should be more assistants because we could hear different
accents and learn traditions from different places around the world. For example, we have had British, American, New Zealand and Canadian assistants, but we have never had Scottish or Irish.” How does your family feel about your participation in the bilingual program? Georgiana: “I think that my family is very happy with me because English and
Science are the most important subjects and in High School these classes will be helpful when I learn other subjects.” Nohaila: “My family is very happy with me because they know that I am good
Página46
at English and they are proud of me for all of my effort.”
Having finished the KET/PET exams, what are your feelings? Nohaila: “I feel good because I know that I did it well with my partner and I
think I have given it my all.” Valentina: “I feel very nervous because the examiners were very strict and I am
worried about my mark because I have only been in this program for two years.” Valeria: “I feel very good because I did my speaking part with my two friends
and they helped me by making me feel more comfortable.” Álvaro: “I feel comfortable because I think that I did it very well and we have
been preparing the exam since the beginning of year 5.” Do you think it is a good idea to have language assistants in Bilingual Schools? Candela: “I think it is good to have assistants because you can learn from them
and improve your pronunciation. Salim: “I think it’s a good idea to have assistants in the schools because you
learn about how they speak in their countries and their different cultures.” The students in 6A worked very hard to perform a play called “The Crazy Story” at Christmas and in various competitions through the year. They were interviewed about the process and their feelings upon performing in the final competition. Do you like acting and why? Carlo: “No, I don´t like acting because I get very nervous when a lot of people

actor and sometimes I get nervous. However, I think when I try hard I get more confident and I do a good job.”

see me and it is very stressful.”
Moe: “I like acting when I am on the stage all the time because I get more
confident. If I only act for a little bit though, I get more nervous.” What do you like about theatre? Nico: “The thing that I like about the theatre is that you can enjoy learning
how to perform a play. I like listening and seeing plays because I think it´s very fun.” Artur: “The only thing I like about the theatre is that all of our classmates can
participate in the play and I think it´s very fun because we always laugh and help each other. Jenny: “I like the decorations and the music. I also really enjoyed making
scenery for the stage and performing my character.” What do you think about introducing theatre as an extracurricular activity in schools? Nando: “I think it’s a good idea but I think it would be best to have a theatre
subject in the school because all the classes could do performances for Christmas or the end of the year because it is a good idea for people who would like to be actors.” Sara: “I think making theatre an extracurricular activity would be very good
because maybe they could have specialized teachers and all the people who want to enter could go, instead of making everyone do it. I think doing theatre in the school could be good if we did it in English and I think it would be better if they did it by levels of difficulty. For example, the first level would be doing a

However, I think it would be better to spend more time practicing the play or maybe for other students to invent their own play.”

very short performance and the last level would be a longer performance.”
Nico: “I have been in an extracurricular theatre class before but it was in
Spanish and I enjoy it more in English. I think it would be a very good idea to do it all year and all students should perform.” Herwig: “I think that it would be a good idea for the school because we would
be speaking a lot and if we could buy decorations the play would be even better.” Moe: “I think that doing a play is a very good idea. If the play is in English, I
think it is better because we are in a bilingual school and it would improve our English. Also, with the decorations I think it would be better making them ourselves because it would be more fun and it lets us use our imagination.” What was it like to perform in front of the entire school? Nando: “I was very nervous because I felt ridiculous in my costume and I
thought other people would laugh when I entered the stage. However, when Spiderman and Batman entered the stage and the audience laughed at them, I felt better because if they could perform without being nervous, I could too.” Lucas: “Acting in front of the entire school was so difficult because I get so
nervous, but then I relaxed because I was wearing a mask and they couldn´t see my face. When the audience can´t see your face I think you get less nervous and more confident.” Luis: “When I was on the stage, I was very concentrated playing the xylophone
so I felt very good.” Herwig: “When I entered the stage I was very concentrated, but when I saw all
the children laughing and thinking we were so funny I thought that my
Página49
costume was very ridiculous.”
What did you like most about “The Crazy Story?” Daniel O. : “I liked the play because the characters didn´t make sense when
they were speaking. Also, the scenery was very nice, because we put a lot of effort into painting and making the decorations.” Carlo: “The thing I liked most about the play was when Batman and
Spiderman entered because it was very funny and unexpected.” What do you think you could have improved to make ¨The Crazy Story¨ even better? Lucas: “I think that we could have taken out the music and added more
characters for the musicians. Also, the characters who had less lines could be given more.” Arthur: “I think we could improve the play by improving our pronunciation.
Our costumes were good but we needed to concentrate more on our lines.” What was it like to prepare the scenery and decorations for the play? Nico: “I think it was very fun because we made our own decorations and could
choose what we wanted to put in the scenery.” Sabela: “It was fun but also a little difficult because we had to spend our break
time to make everything.” Did you like your character in the Crazy Story and why? Sara: “No, I didn´t like my character because I felt it was very childish and
Little Red Riding Hood only had very short lines and the costume was difficult to find.”

Moe: “I liked being the narrator because I spoke a lot and I think my lines were
very funny because the characters kept interrupting me.” Daniel O. : “My character was one of the Three Little Pigs. I think it was very
creative because I got to do a lot of things with my friends and it was very fun.” What was the most difficult part about performing the play? Sabela: “I think the most difficult part was that at first we were a little shy
but then we got more confident.” Nando: “I think that the most difficult part of performing the play was
learning the role. I only had two sentences but I was always confusing the words because I was getting nervous. If for me it was difficult to learn those lines, I think for the narrators it must have been very hard because they had a lot more to learn.” Was it difficult to memorize all the songs and play the instruments? Carlo: “Yes it was a little bit difficult because none of us had played the
xylophone and we needed to learn.” Daniel C. : “I really enjoyed learning to play the new instruments.” Araceli: “I enjoyed playing the instrument because I liked the music.” Was the play funny? Herwig: “Yes, the play was funny because I liked the Three Little Pigs and I

enjoyed myself a lot.”
Did you win any prize in the theatre competition? Carlo: “No, we didn´t win any prizes but we have just participated in another
competition and the judges said we did a great job, so there is hope.” Emerson: “No, we didn´t win any prizes because it was our first time
performing in a competition but we did a great job and are so proud of ourselves for doing the play.” Herwig: “Even though we didn´t win, I think we did so well and I liked
everything about our performance.” Sara: “We didn´t win a prize, but the best prize was in our hearts because
participating was so special.” Why did you choose this play? Jenny: “We chose the play because it was funny and entertaining.” Ariadna: “We chose this play because we could easily add more characters so
everybody had a chance to participate.” What inspired you to add more characters to the original script? Sara: “We were inspired by the people who didn’t have a role in the play
because we wanted to be fair. For example, we added Cinderella because she is so different from the rest of the characters and her story is very famous.” Lucas: “We added more characters because the play was so short and when a
play for people our age is too short, it could be boring. We added more characters to make it more interesting.”
Nando: “The first time we performed at Christmas not everyone had a role.
However, later we had more time to add characters and musicians and then everyone had a role.”
Página52
Did everybody have a role in the performance?
Sabela: “Yes, and in different performances we changed our characters so we
could all be happy with our roles. We also added new characters along the way.” Did you buy all the costumes and decorations? Ariadna: “No, we didn’t buy everything because it wasn’t necessary. Some
people had things to lend to the performance such as the costumes and the props.” Were your lines difficult to memorize and deliver? Lucas: “My lines were easy to memorize because they were very short but I
think that other characters, like the narrator, spoke a lot and it was more difficult for them.” Artur: “No, I didn´t have any problems but I thought my lines were difficult
because the Three Little Pigs needed to speak at the same time and we needed to learn the characters´ song and dance.” How do you feel as the director about your students´ performance? Mila: “I am very proud of my students because they have worked really hard as
a group and their level of English and pronunciation is great. We are very grateful to Amy who helped us a lot during practice. I encourage other teachers to do plays with their students.” Almudenahh: “It is a pleasure to share this king of experiences with the

students! Thanks a million for your collaboration and your enthusiasm!”

MEMORIES NOTES FROM THE CORRIDOR FIRST YEAR AUXILIAR REVEALS LIFE OF THE FIRST AND SECOND GRADE CORRIDOR By Nora Salle AMADOR DE LOS RIOS, MADRID –When I first arrived at Amador de los Rios, I couldn’t believe what well-mannered first a find second graders this school had. “They’re sweet,” I told my family in the United States, “but I still don’t know them very well”. Now, nine months, six excursions, and many unsolved pencil disappearances later, I know for a fact that the students of the first and second grade corridor are destined for big things around the school in the coming years. The fist realization of this was during our Halloween festivities in October where I was scared witless by the ghouls and goblins slinking about the hallway. I still am not sure if these were in fact real creatures from the great beyond of the six and seven year olds I’ve gotten to know so well. Another notable holiday experience was of course the Christmas Pageant where

I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become Mariah Carrey and work hand-
of all of Amador de los Rios’ students that afternoon. Who knew that such intellect and musical charisma could be so abounding in one school! Apart from the obvious holiday highlights, the day-to-day of The Corridor is an every-advancing environment. As and English Auxiliar, I have noticed such a drastic difference in the way the students greet me. At first I had a lot of ‘Hello, Miss Nora’, and ‘How are you?’, but now, to my absolute delight, I get to talk to my young new friends from this year about their lives. I know about hobbies and friends and favourites of any imaginable category imaginable. I had no idea before how popular Judo was amongst second graders or how much the first grade students like pizza. As summer nears, I’m sure to the dismay of the students, I find myself looking forward to a few important things: 1) For Trinity testing to finally come to a close
exiting things they’re going to do 3) To think about the fun ahead of us next year when everyone is a little taller, a little tanner and obviously ready to return to The Corridor.

MY EXPERIENCE AT AMADOR DE LOS RÍOS By Clare At the start of my job working as a Language and Cultural Assistant here at Amador de los Ríos, I was incredibly nervous. I didn’t really know what to expect from the teachers, administrative team or the students. However, everyone was truly understanding of my transition, and I was welcomed with open arms. The students, teachers and I have really become close. I think of Amador de los Rios as another family, and my home away from home. We all have been able to learn from each other. The students and teachers have taught me so much about the Spanish culture and lifestyle, and I’ve been able to teach them about the United States and the English language. I learned so much about myself from this teaching experience that I would not have had at a different school in Madrid. I have grown a real love for Amador de los Ríos and am so excited to be able to have the opportunity to teach here again next

MY YEAR WITH AMADOR DE LOS RIOS By Joe Patch Despite my size and age, in reality I am just a big kid. So when I came to Amador de los Rios I think I caused a bit of surprise when I ran into the playground and started playing football with first grade. Obviously my job was not to play football (although I wish it was) but it was to teach the students English and it is an experience I have enjoyed hugely since I arrived. They are all hard-working and enthusiastic and they have been an extremely positive aspect of my time abroad. I have some moments that will stick with me for a lifetime such as the celebration of San Isidro (and wearing my very own "Chulapo"), my performance as "Harry Styles" in the Christmas performance and the reaction of the school when my twin brother visited. It was a real pleasure to show my brother around the school and I know that he was very impressed by the English of all the students as they asked him questions and displayed their talents for conversation. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the teachers at this school and it is clear to me that the pupils are very lucky to have such a dedicated group of people helping them learn not only the English language, but also the skills and knowledge that they'll need later in life. I know that Amador de los Rios has been involved in the "auxiliares de conversacion" programme for a while now and that they have welcomed English United Kingdom may not be the most exotic of backgrounds, I hope that they will carry on practicing their English long into the future and that I have made as good an impression on everyone I have worked with as they have on me.

MY MEMORIES FROM AMADOR DE LOS RÍOS By Amy Berg After two wonderful years at Amador de Los Ríos, I can honestly say that I am really going to miss it. The teachers are caring and helpful and the students always manage to put a smile on my face! Amador de los Ríos not only teaches the students through lessons, but also through fun cultural or festive activities that the students are sure to remember for the rest of their lives. The following are my favorite memories from my time at this school. Halloween: One of my favorite things to do with the students at Amador de los Ríos was sharing my culture with them. One example of this cultural exchange was our Halloween celebration this year. All of the Language Assistants took the time during the day to teach the students about the history and traditions of that day, and then the students took part in mask making, pumpkin decorating and the "Creepy Stations." During this activity, students reached into a bag without looking and touched food that was chosen to feel like different body parts (example, grapes for eyes). The students really got silly and excited about the activity and even connected their learning to science and new vocabulary! The Christmas Performances: Last year, I worked closely with the fifth graders on their performance of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas.” In the beginning, as I was looking for the best song to sing, I was told that this would be too difficult for young children to memorize. However, I knew that they could do it and they didn´t let me down! They them practicing throughout the day (even at recess on their own!). Their dedication paid off when they gave their wonderful performance in front of friends and family.

worked very hard to learn not only the words, but their meanings and I could hear
This year, I got to hear the fifth graders practice John Lennon’s beautiful song about peace, “Imagine.” They too worked so hard with Alex’s guidance and gave a great performance! I know one of the things I remember most about my school days when I was a child were the school performances, so am sure the work the teachers are doing with the students will be remembered forever. Field Trips: During these two years I was lucky enough to go on various excursions with the fifth and sixth graders. It is so rewarding to see the students take their learning out of the classroom and apply it in the real world. Last year, I celebrated Spanish Constitution Day with the fifth graders by going to Plaza de Colón and learning about the Constitution. We got to see a fun movie on a huge domed screen and they even gave us free flags and mini versions of the Constitution! This year I have gone on many museum field trips with the fifth graders including the Archaeological, Natural Sciences and Marine museums. I think I had just as much fun as the students learning about the different art, history, and anthropology in the museums and was so fortunate to be able to accompany them. "The Crazy Story" Finally, one of my favorite memories at Amador de los Ríos was working with the sixth graders on their play, "The Crazy Story" this year. We started in December working on character development, pronunciation and decorations. They performed three different times during the year and each time they improved, adding new characters, decorations and costumes. Performing the play not only helped with their English, but with their confidence as well! This is my last year at Amador de los Ríos but I will always remember my future whenever I get the chance. The students here are very lucky to have such a great school and I am sure that after such a fun year, they know it as well!.
