F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Last Thusrsday was my best friend´s birthday.

I met her when we were 9. Almost 20 years later, we´re still together. She lives far from where I live now. Nonetheless, when we have the chance to spend a day together, time seems not to have pass.

It is amazing how people can modify our lives!! I firmly believe that, even though we cannot see each other everyday, there´s something that keeps us united: love.

A friend is a the family you can choose. Is somebody that you know is going to be there for you no matter what. She´s been by my side at the distance. She knows exactly what´s going on in my life, the changes in my job, my career, my husband and daughter, everything. And in the same way I know everything about her.

Life has changed us physical and emotionally. But at the end..we´re still those little 9-year-old girls who loves chatting and playing, watching movies and eating home made pop-corn, little girls who loved to share.

In the most amazing moments we´ve been together....in the most awful ones too. Life gave us the opportunity to get to know each other...and luckily we took it!


Happy Birthday My Dearest Friend!!! You know I´ll be there for you (always), as you´re there for me too (always too).

Kagan Structures

What is Kagan??

That´s a very good question if you are into cooperative learning teaching.

In my last post, I told you about my experience, but I didn´t tell you what Kagan Structures are.

This short video will give you an answer and it may help you to understand how to use them in tour regular lessons.

Hope you find it interesting!!

Cooperative Learning

Recently, I attended a workshop where I found old and very well known theory combined with a new approach.

There, I was able to get to knnow the Kagan Structures. I made my own research and put them into practice in some  of my lessons. The result....fantastic!

As a conclusion I´m posting some of the structures that helped me in class.

I really hope you can find them useful as me.

XoXo.
