...y los sueños, sueños son.
Yesterday I had my first dream in Spanish! I usually don't remember my dreams so it's possible I've had dreams in Spanish before but I think this is a great stepping stone. :) I don't remember much of it, since dreams have a tendency of floating back to the clouds where they came from, but I remember that a couple of the teachers in my school were in it.
Also yesterday, I taught dance in my two PE classes. I taught them some basics of hip hop and then taught a short dance to some choreography that I came up with. It was so amazing. Dancing and choreographing are two things I love to do. It made my day. I miss it so much and I wish I had more of an outlet for it, but I'll take what I can get. The kids loved it and begged the teacher if I could do it again so I think the week before Semana Santa after their PE exam I will do another day of dancing.
(The quote for the title of this post comes from my favorite Spanish play- "La vida es sueño" by Calderon de la Barca. Or "Life is a dream". I think the poetry is just so beautiful.)
Wow! That's awesome! I've heard that dreaming/thinking in a language is a big step to being fully fluent.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you were able to share something with your students that you have such a passion for. I know how much dance means to you, and it's wonderful that the kids were able to enjoy it too! I'm sure the teacher appreciates you bringing what you love and part of your culture into the classroom; I guess that's part of having people visit and teach!
By the way, Happy Valentine's Day!
