This prepped them for our tour of the Real Madrid Stadium: Santiago Bernabéu. Wow - it's huge! Seats over 80,000...and they are expanding it!! Apparently the museum & stadium is the 2nd most visited museum in all of Madrid, after the Prado art museum! We saw all the trophies & jerseys - so impressive! Saw locker rooms and got to walk onto part of the field. So, obviously we took our Roamin' Spartans team photo here....and imho, it's awesome!!!
The 2nd part of their class prepped them for their host family visits...dining customs, etc... We divided the kids into 2 groups and gave them a map. Obviously a teacher went with them, but we were not supposed to say a word. haha They had to navigate the metro and then navigate the streets to find the houses. The kids looked great - cleaned up nicely! One group went to a host lady's house with her mom along as well, multi-generational. Besides eating some delicious food, they had a great conversation for over 2.5 hrs in SPANISH!!! The host mom commented to the profesora afterwards how great their Spanish was and how impressed she was that they held a conversation all in Spanish! #proudprofesoras
The other group went to a younger lady's house who had her friend along. The friend was from Michigan and here teaching English. Again, delicious food, and also like the other group, all in Spanish. #proudprofesoras
Both groups came back to the hotel quite animated and having really enjoyed their evening! I think they were all nervous prior as they didn't know what to expect, but came away with their eyes opened and feeling more & more comfortable with the language. What else could a profesora ask for?!?!
