Tuesdays start out with Grammar class from 9:00-10:30. I usually come home and take a little siesta before I have to be at the elementary school to volunteer. One day I decided to ask the people at the elementary school across the street from my apartment if they needed any extra help in English classes. Once again, I was welcomed with open arms and started the very next day.
On Tuesdays, I go in from 12:00-2:00. For the first hour I help in Daniel's fourth grade English class and for the second hour, I help out with Maria Gracia's first grade English class. Walking into the classroom brightens up my day, all the kids come running up to me giving hugs. Likewise, they all enjoy speaking English with me, so it's a great learning experience for them. Usually the teacher's have a little something they want me to do with the kids because they love to have the children hear the language from a native speaker.
Now that it is the Christmas season, I've been helping out with the Christmas program. The program has songs in both English and Spanish, so of course I intend to help with the English songs. Unfortunately, the program is two days after I leave, so I won't be able to see it.
I head home for lunch with Elisa after the school, then have Art History class.
Right after class, I meet up with my intercambio, Marta. I've already described what the intercambio program is, so I won't bore you with that again. However, we've done lots of cool things. Sometimes we meet on weekends and go to a movie, go to a tapas bar, go shopping, find a cool view of Granada, or walk around talking.
Some of the cool views we find.

I finish up my day again eating dinner with Elisa and watching some Spanish TV.
