Grade 2 English Teacher

Laetitia

Hello! My name is Laëtitia and I am the Grade 2 teacher this year. Before coming to Mexico I lived in Scotland for 7 years completing my studies (a degree in English and a PGCE in Primary Education) and working in schools. I was born and grew up in France so I love my food and a good bottle of red! I also enjoy travelling and have been fortunate enough to spend some time in most of Europe, South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia and North America. I’ve been teaching in Lancaster for a year now and I’m really enjoying it.

Grade 2 Spanish Teacher

Antonieta

Mi mayor anhelo siempre fue ¨ser maestra¨; estudié por vocaciòn inspirada en el ejemplo de todos mis grandes maestros. Cuando me incorporé al ¨Lancaster¨ me sentì muy feliz de saber que iba a convivir en un ambiente bicultural; Ahora siento que mi panorama es más abierto y que estos  8 años me han dado la oportunidad de superarme y siempre trataré cada dia de ser major.

What we have been learning:

En la unidad de la “Tierra” los alumnos aprendieron a identificar las partes que forman la Tierra (núcleo, manto, corteza terrestre), a clasificar  rocas, y a distinguir los fenómenos naturales que afectan en la corteza terrestre, como los sismos o terremotos,  las erupciones volcánicas y los cambios que realiza el hombre (presas, carreteras, construcciones).

Ruth

I joined Lancaster School in 2005 and enjoyed a year of teaching Grade 5.  I currently teach ESL in Grades 3 and 4 as well as giving Maths support in Grade 3 to 5.  During my ESL time, the children consolidate their grammatical, spelling and comprehension skills.  We use a range of material including the Selections programme.  I also teach Art to all Primary Grades.

What we are learning:

U.ofI. (Unit of Inquiry):

              CONSTITUTIONS

Children are going to investigate this central idea:

 Countries have written documents that explain the laws, rights and obligations of the people that live there.

 They will try to answer the following questions:

 Why did men need to create constitutions?

What’s inside a constitution?

What’s the point of having laws, rights and obligations?
