I met Dolores Olveira some years ago in Santiago, when she was my student in a PALE course. These courses (now called PIALE) are a kind of prep stage for teachers who then go to an English-speaking country for an immersion programme to update their linguistic skills. I remember being impressed by Dolores's polished English and enthusiasm for teaching, and thinking how lucky her students are for having a dedicated, motivated teacher. Then, last July when I got in touch with her regarding the creative writing project, and she immediately showed her interest and willingness to jump on the bandwagon. We then met in September, together with two other teachers from CEIP Praia Xardín, and this is how they ended up being part of the traveling notebook chain. It is a pleasure to be working with them!
Dolores has sent us some information so that we can get to know their school a little better.
CEIP Praia Xardín
CEIP Praia Xardín is located in Boiro. It's one of the schools in the town centre with a fantastic view to the beach. Most of our students come from rural areas such as Moimenta, Ponte Goiáns, Cadarnoxo, O Saltiño, Pomar do Río, Macenda,...Come and visit!!
