Welcome Ms Neil!

Ms Neil says, "My name is Rachel Neil, I am a student-teacher intern from Canada. I am completing my Education degree through the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba. I am honored to have the opportunity to complete my final practicum at ACS Athens. Ms. Kynigou and the students have welcomed me with much hospitality. During my teaching experience I have been implementing the "Aboriginal perspective" which integrates disciplines across the curriculum. As a descendant of the Original First Peoples of Canada, I am passionate to share the distinct cultures that encompass the term "Aboriginal" and how the past is important in order to understand the present day Aboriginal People and their innovative contributions to Canada.

                The students are discovering the significance of oral traditions in these cultures and linking it to their own cultural stories which have been passed down from generation to generation. The objective is for students to compare personally and critically  oral, literacy, and media text as they gain a deeper understanding of cultural similarities and differences to acquire a awareness of global citizenship.

                After the Easter break, the students will be assigned a novel study of The Sign of the Beaver by Elizabeth George Speare. This is a notable book which has won the Newberry Award, and will connect their prior knowledge of Aboriginal Peoples as they explore the theme of survival in the wilderness.

                Once again I am enjoying my time in Ms. Kynigou's classroom; it is my home away from home. I am receiving so much from this experience of teaching aboard and hope to give back to the students and school as a whole. My future students will benefit greatly as I gain an international mindset towards the world in which we live."

The Best Birthday Ever!

Thank you all for making my birthday so special! I hardly ever get to celebrate at school, because usually my birthday is in the Easter holiday. This one was a day I shall always treasure! You are very special and dear children, each and every one of you! GROUP HUG!!!
