Greta Thunberg

If I ever have teen students again, I'll definetly include Greta Thunberg's speech in my class to create a debate and to reflect upon the challenges that we face as humanity in the future.
Every friday she seats outside the Swedish parliament with a cardboard sing that says "School strike for climate change"
I believe Greta is a good role model and she is inspiring thousands of students around the world. She is not afraid to call out powerful politicians on their hypocrisy and she has a lifestyle according to her ideals. She has been nominated for a nobel prize and she is only 16!

Welcome to my blog!

Hello everyone!  My name is Celeste and in this blog I'll be sharing with you my stories, thoughts, doubts, fears about being a teacher in the 21st century. Curently I'm a teacher in a country of Latin America. I teach English in the first form at a private school. 
Teaching in first form is a great challenge and an interesting adventure. My little students have a hilarious point of view. 
I'll share with you an exchange with a Student:
Student: -I love you teacher! 
Me: -I love you too, baby
Student: -Yo no soy un baby
