A Sneak Peak of Christmas in Priego...

An update on my week which has been CRAZY...

1. I toured Sara's country house (seriously a celebrity could be living there.  It's beautiful.)

2. I also toured the olive oil factory where she works.  The place was nicer than my house.

3. Christmas is underway in my school.  I was put in charge of some sort of Christmas decorations involving english.  This is what I came up with...

The teachers were pleasantly (I hope) shocked when I turned them into elves.  The students were shocked as well and continuously look at the display.  They also read the words constantly which is exactly what I was going for!  Wooo English.

4. I also decided to involve my students with the rest of the decorations.  Each of my classes will be decorating their classroom door.  My 4th graders were the first to finish theirs...

More photos next week after the rest are finished.

5.  Bethlehem's ("Belen" in Spanish) are popping up everywhere.

This is the one in Sara's house.  Lights, running water, the whole nine yards.  It's actually pretty normal to do a grand display of the scene.  Wait until you see the one my school is setting up.  Photos to follow next week when it is finished.

6. I cooked homemade perogies from scratch.  Spain has turned me into quite the little chef since there are no short cuts available here.
