CLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONS

BACK TO SCHOOL

Hola, chicos. Como ya sabéis este año no estaré con vosotros. Por motivos de organización del centro se me ha encomendado una tutoría en 2º ciclo, lo que supone también un cambio de perfil en el área de inglés. Este curso impartiré el área de inglés en el mismo ciclo donde ejerzo la labor de tutora, es decir en 3º y 4º de primaria..

No obstante, si la nueva labor  profesional me lo permite seguiré en contacto con vosotros a través de este blog que tanta satisfacción me ha aportado. También podéis visitar el blog de inglés de 2º ciclo. ENGLISH IS FUN 2:
